2024 Fantasy Outlook
Candelario has always packed latent power, but Comerica Park kept most of his fly balls in the yard. Last season, he signed with Washington and homers ensued, buoyed by power-friendly Nationals Park and Wrigley Field in the summertime. Before he was traded to the Cubs, Candelario clubbed 16 homers, fueling a .258/.342/.481 line. He fell a bit after, posting a .234/.318/.445 line, but added six more homers to set a new career high. Candelario's .471 slugging mark was the second highest of his career, only bettered by .503 in the pandemic season. His strikeout and walk rate have been in the same range for many years, with no sign of changing this year. Candelario's BABIP has been all over the place, ranging from .257 to .333 over the past six seasons, omitting the .372 mark recorded in the shortened 2020 season. He finds himself in his best home park to date after signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the Reds. His dual eligibility makes for a decent late cornerman, and while he may get more days off than a true everyday player, the switch hitter should be in the middle of the lineup most days and is a must-play at home.

Gets breather Saturday
Candelario isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Candelario will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Santiago Espinal will step in to cover third base instead while batting ninth.

Consideration for Mariners
According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Mariners may push to sign Candelario in free agency.
ANALYSIS
Seattle has an opening now at third base after trading Eugenio Suarez to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday in exchange for Seby Zavala and Carlos Vargas. Recent acquisition Luis Urias could be an option to fill that role, but he slashed just .194/.337/.299 across 177 plate appearances for the Brewers and Red Sox in 2023. Candelario, meanwhile, is coming off a steady .807 OPS with 22 homers and 39 doubles in 140 games between the Nationals and Cubs. The 29-year-old has also been linked to the Yankees, Blue Jays, Pirates, Reds and Angels.

Like a lot of Detroit hitters, Candelario mostly struggled in 2022. He batted just .159 in April and .210 in May, and while he was a bit better later in the year, Candelario never really got going, finishing with a .217 average. His playing time was trimmed a bit as a result, as he went from 149 games played in 2021 to 124 in 2022. Candelario's OPS dipped precipitously as well, falling from .794 to .633. The new Tigers regime non-tendered him, but he landed on his feet with a one-year, $5 million deal in Washington, where he could play every day. He has at least shown that he's a solid if not spectacular big leaguer, batting .271 or better in 2020 and 2021. He also hit 16 home runs and tallied 67 RBI during that 2021 campaign, and now Candelario goes from the worst park for home runs in the league per Statcast's park factors (Detroit) to the 11th best park (Washington).
