Jonah Bride

Bride was unsuccessful in his time with Oakland in 2023 as seen in a .490 OPS over 106 plate appearances, but he once again impressed in the minors with a .305/.432/.544 slash while with Triple-A Las Vegas. The Marlins will see if he can translate that success at the highest level, as they acquired the 28-year-old in February after he was designated for assignment. The right-handed hitting infielder has shown an impressive approach at the plate and offers minimal swing-and-miss in his profile, but he's struggled to make hard contact, and he's unlikely to be a player that offers much -- if anything -- in the stolen-base category. Bride will get a chance to win a roster spot with Miami, but even if he's successful, his role will make it impossible to have any sort of fantasy relevance.

Bride made his MLB debut for the A's last season and had a .204/.301/.247 slash line with just five extra-base hits in 187 plate appearances. He had an .831 OPS at the Double-A level in 2021 and crushed the ball between in 37 games between Double-A and Triple-A last season with a 1.021 OPS and six homers, but that success never translated to the big leagues. The 27-year-old split most of his playing time between second and third base, and the offseason additions of Jace Peterson and Aledmys Diaz will likely squeeze Bride out of the mix for any notable playing time to open 2023, especially with Seth Brown and Jesus Aguilar potentially forming a platoon at first base.
