There are a couple players expected to be moved by the deadline but none more so right now than Adeiny Hechavarria.
Hechavarria has not been a great hitter thus far in his career. He has a career .638 OPS with 24 homers and 30 steals in 6+ seasons, the last two of which have been hampered by injuries. He’s a defense-first shortstop who doesn’t hit for power or average, doesn’t draw walks and doesn’t steal bases.
And while Hechavarria is certainly a plus-defender, finding a place for him in today’s offense-driven iteration of MLB is likely going to be difficlut for Erik Neander.
