Profar was born and Willemstad and has been involved in organized baseball from a young age, representing Curaao at the Little League World Series in 2004 and 2005. RT @jonmorosi: News: Jurickson Profar, still a free agent, will play for Team Netherlands at the @WBCBaseball. [18] On February 23, 2015, Profar underwent surgery on his shoulder and missed the entire 2015 season. I dont know the Yankees system well enough to take a guess at whether or not the Yankees are a match otherwise. A switch-hitter with quality contact skills and a patient approach, hes hit at an above-average level in two of the past three years. Id say the latter which would speak volumes because I dont think there is any team who has recently valued Profar as much as SD has. Jurickson Profar was at the center of that scrutiny, coming off of a 0.0 WAR 2021 campaign in 137 games. He played a little 1B with the Friars. Hate to say it but I enjoy seeing these athletes outsmart themselves when they decide to get greedy! Id argue Profar is the exact type of player than smarter front offices will avoid paying 7 to 10 million dollars a year for, while attempting to replicate his numbers with any pre-arbitration player possible. Hicks also hurt his knee in the playoffs, adding to his long list of recent injuries. Thats also true of the Braves and Dodgers, two contenders who have room for left field upgrades on paper. Jurickson Profar scores from third, Padres take a 3-1 lead over the Dodgers. Free Agent: 2023. Hays or Santander could appeal to a club thats willing to market a back-end starter in search of an immediate outfield upgrade speculatively speaking, the Brewers and Rangers could fit the mold but a trade would leave the Os to lean heavily on rookieKyle Stowers unless they subsequently add experienced outfield help. Grossman had some big moments for the Braves last year. [31] Profar struggled in 2021 with a slash line of .227/.329/.320. The Braves have done well developing pitchers, if they havent been able to get Anderson beyond where he is then Im not sure theres much more upside to him. Unless I missed it, the article doesnt state who represents Profar. Profar has a .238 average with 59 homers and 222 RBIs in seven major league seasons with Texas (2012-13, 2016-18), Oakland (2019) and San Diego. Status: Free Agent. Abrams during a 2-1,. What if Cabrera has a breakout ST, where are you going to roster everyone? I like Profar, but I think hell be lucky to get 2 yrs/18M. I got Profarred. Besides, I dont have that kind of ego. He is currently single. At the same time, another ball was thrown onto the field . Another example of why I say prospects havent proven anything yet when folks talk them up. None of it played out like the hype. You have no idea who I am or what I know just as the opposite is true. [39] Both of them, as well as the youngest brother Jurdrick, have represented Curacao in the Little League World Series. Year Pitch Type Team RV/100 Run Value Pitches % PA BA SLG wOBA Whiff% K% PutAway % xBA xSLG xwOBA Hard Hit % 2022: 4-Seamer . My concern is locking him in for four years. Braves and Orioles make a lot of sense for trade partners. Profar participated in both the 2004 and 2005 Little League World Series. After the 2013 season, the Rangers traded Kinsler, anticipating that Profar would become the Rangers' starting second baseman. If Profar were willing to do a 1 year contract for $6.5 million, I still dont think the Braves would pull that trigger though I think if Profar were willing to do that, he would have signed by now. Could get it done. He helped the Pabao Little League team from Willemstad, Curaao, beat the Conejo Valley East Little League team from Thousand Oaks, California to win the championship in 2004. Just because he has played everywhere doesnt mean he can Profar has been brutal defensively outside of LF and 1st base. A retooling club like the Royals or Tigers could eye Profar as a deadline trade candidate. I would love to see the Cubs in contention in 2023. Profar did have a semi-breakout in 2018, his age-25 season. Some high school data is courtesy David McWater. Profar would just delay their arrival in Baltimore for no apparent reason. The move surprised many as Profar had just wrapped up a standard but unspectacular season with the National League finalists. Hes not enough of an upgrade over Hicks to be worth pursuing. I just dont see if. He helped the Pabao Little League team from Willemstad, Curaao beat the Conejo Valley East Little League team from Thousand Oaks, California to win the championship in 2004. Summary Stats News Awards. If Hicks was moved now, even for a minor leaguer I do believe the Yanks would make a play for Profar though. I will be quite surprised if he beats $6.5M for one year or $17.5M over two years. As a fellow switch hitter who doesnt swing and miss nearly as often, Profar is essentially a younger, better version of Hicks. Yankee fans have to hear about Hicks coming back from some injury or another for the next three seasons. Not a good comp. But with the calendar now flipped to February, spring training games start later this month, and Profar does not know what team hell be reporting to. Texas made some blockbuster moves this offseason but didn't pay heed to their need to increase depth in the outfield and went on to look for a reliable outfielder. That is not something they can say about their offseason strategy for left field thus far, which is getting increasingly hard to understand. That would be a very good trade for the Orioles. Something like Ian Anderson + Kirby Yates (salary dump) for Santander. @LordD99- I hear you, just saying that Profar is better then Hicks, but not Necessarily in leftfield. Please logout and login again. Given what the lesser FAs like Duval,et al got Grossman is a much better alternative. Very comical when you think about it. How is it different? What a poor move and if I was him Id be going after his agent for suggesting this dumb move. Jurickson Profar was carted off the field after a scary collision with CJ Abrams. Teams cant spends endlessly. So, he wont add a player along with Hicks or Donaldson just to move salary, but they also wont go over the $293MM to add a necessary player to win. If Profar gets signed, then the Yankees (as other teams know) will have to DFA Hicks as opposed to possibly trading him for a little bit of value. Even in that instance, pivoting back to Profar might not be in the cards. Meanwhile, their NL East rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets, bolstered their squads to where the division is looking to be the most competitive of them all. In 88 games, Profar batted .234 with 6 home runs and 26 RBI. He was named to appear in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game. Perhaps he was on his way. What possible trade value could Hicks have at 10M AAV through 25 with 30M total owed. He hit his first home run of the season on May 31, 2016, against the Cleveland Indians. The war on WAR indeed. [16], After the 2013 season, the Rangers traded Kinsler, anticipating that Profar would become the Rangers' starting second baseman. On May 22, the Rangers organization announced Profar had reinjured his shoulder, and as a result missed the entire 2014 season. Profar was named the 2018 Richard Durrett Hardest Working Man Award winner by the DFW chapter of the BBWAA. After missing a total of two seasons due to the shoulder injury, Profar was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock Express on March 21, 2016. So thats Volpe and Wells. We have estimated 3 years/$26.25M at $8.75M a year flat w/ no opt outs, no buy outs, no options- done. In his major league debut, Profar started at second base in place of Ian Kinsler, who was out due to back stiffness, and hit a 388-foot solo home run off of Zach McAllister in his first major league at bat.

On February 23, 2015, Profar underwent surgery on his shoulder and missed the entire 2015 season. Throw in Brennen Davis and PCA if Morel cant cut it either. On one hand, I wouldnt want Profar on a multi year deal either. He then later doubled in his second at-bat, and went 2 for 4 for the game. I really dont think the Braves will sign Profar. Jurickson Profar collapsed while walking off the field after a huge accidental collision with a teammate in the outfield. Profar was placed on concussion protocol shortly thereafter. His best bet was to stay in San Diego, Opt out hasnt worked out for him at this point. Jurickson Profar was born on Saturday, February 20, 1993, in Willemstad, Curacao. Biggest need would be #1 arm, 3rd and catcher. [35], After Team Netherlands advanced to the semi-finals for the 2013 World Baseball Classic, manager Hensley Meulens made a public plea to have Profar on the Dutch roster since Profar was born in Curacao. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported last week the club doesnt want to exceed the fourth and final luxury-tax barrier, set at $293MM for the 2023 season. [24] In his first full season at the Major League level, Profar hit .254/.335/.458 with 20 homeruns, while appearing as a left fielder, shortstop, first baseman, second baseman, and third baseman. February 20, 1993 The Yankees do not have a true backup first baseman anymore either now that Matt Carpenter and Marwin Gonzalez have moved on, adding another enticing reason to sign Profar. [21] He played five positions in the field (left field, shortstop, first base, second base, and third base) while also serving as the designated hitter for six games.[22]. He was named the shortstop on Baseball America's 2011 Minor League All Star team.

Im not sure if its been said, but the Mets are interested. Jurickson Profar's net worth We present them here for purely educational purposes. He needs more playing time. If hed take 1 year at 10 million.. seems fair, I really want the jays to get grossman then need a LHP masher that can play 100 games if needed incase of injury. But if the Orioles dont trade for pitchingwhich they seem determined to never do theres no point. 2016 - Odubel Herrera. Profar had to leave on a stretcher, was carted off, and was taken to a San Diego hospital. That is why Profar was a 3.1 WAR player and Mancini was a 1.4 WAR player. Hays 3.2 mil, Mullins 4.1, Santander 7.5 all on one yr deals. The San Diego Padres entered 2022 with uncertainly swirling around their outfielders. Also learn how He earned most of networth at the age of 27 years old? @JURICKSONPROFAR. The odd thing neither party could end up in the same or equal position had he stayed. In the first half of 2022, Profar slashed .241/.343/.394 with a 115 wRC+, and he even managed to tap into some power early on when the Padres were desperate for offensive production. [5][6] He played the 2011 season for the Hickory Crawdads. Boras tactics work very well for him in the big picture.
