2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a tale of two seasons for Wade, who appeared primed for a career year with a .329/.462/.445 slash line through 57 games but labored to a .638 OPS in the final 60 contests. Overall he hit just eight home runs in 117 games, with a 15.8 percent walk rate carrying a lot of his offensive value. His patience at the plate isn't a new attribute, as he has a double-digit walk rate in three of his four seasons with the Giants. A .331 BABIP may not be sustainable, but his career-best 43.7 percent hard-hit rate was encouraging and resulted in a .437 xSLG, which was notably better than his actual slugging figure of .381. Wade's fantasy value is limited outside of OBP leagues, but his solid average could come in handy for streamers if he's able to turn some of that strong contact back into home runs, which he's shown he can do at times with two campaigns in which he sniffed 20 long balls (he hit 18 and 17 home runs in 2021 and 2023, respectively). His .840 OPS against left-handed pitching was a stark improvement and could help him avoid a platoon at first base if he's able to sustain it. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Giants in January of 2025. Traded to Angels in June of 2025. Released by the Angels in August of 2025.
Cut by Angels
The Angels released Wade on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Analysis
The Halos will move on from Wade after he slashed just .169/.260/.215 through 73 plate appearances with the team. The 31-year-old will now look to latch on with another organization, though he may need to settle for a minor-league contract in order to land an opportunity elsewhere.

2021
2020
2018
2017
A string of knee issues derailed Wade in 2022 and prevented him from building on his breakout showing with the Giants from 2021, but he managed to stay mostly healthy in 2023 and returned to form as a reliable leadoff presence for San Francisco. He registered a .373 on-base percentage, which ranked 13th-best among all qualified major-league hitters, and he struck out only 95 times in 519 plate appearances while drawing 76 walks. Wade doesn't have a ton of raw power -- he finished in just the 32nd percentile last year in average exit velocity -- but the 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder should continue to be a fairly appealing option in OBP leagues and might be worthy of late-round or waiver-wire consideration in standard formats for his potential to rack up runs scored. It's worth nothing, however, that the offseason arrival of Jung Hoo Lee could seriously curtail Wade's tablesetting opportunities.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade target for Pittsburgh?
According to John Perrotto of PittsburghBaseballNow.com, Wade "could be of interest" as a trade target for the Pirates.
Analysis
Pittsburgh has had a revolving door at first base over the past few years, and Wade would provide short-term stability without costing a major prospect package. The 30-year-old had a .260/.380/.381 slash line in 117 games during 2024 and is entering his final year of arbitration eligibility.
