Fri Jan 2619:27Jeimer Candelario To Be Everyday Player For Reds
Cincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario was signed this offseason to be a steady presence in a very young lineup, despite an already crowded infield picture in Cincinnati. He has played in 746 major-league games, and no other Reds position player has appeared in more than 380 games. "Adding a guy like Jeimer takes some of that pressure off. Between DH, first base and third base, he's going to be an everyday player. There's plenty of playing time to go around there," manager David Bell said. The 30-year-old signed a three-year, $45 million deal in December to give the Reds even more offensive depth and defensive versatility. Candelario hit a career-high 22 home runs with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs last year and is now moving to an even more friendly hitter's park. There's plenty to like about him as a cheap source of power with positional eligibility at both third and first base.

Thu Dec 7 202311:02Reds Agree With Jeimer Candelario
The Cincinnati Reds agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent infielder Jeimer Candelario on Wednesday night, according to a source. The deal is pending a physical. The Reds were not one of the teams expected to land Candelario, as they already have plenty of third base options at the big-league level in Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Noelvi Marte and Spencer Steer. Cincy has been rumored to be interested in some high-level starting pitchers on the trade market, though, so perhaps their plan is to flip several of their young players for a rotation arm. The 30-year-old Candelario is a switch-hitter and can also play first base. He'll be a bit more interesting with the Reds from a fantasy perspective after hitting .251/.336/.471 with an .807 OPS, career-high 22 home runs, 70 RBI and eight stolen bases in 140 total games with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs in 2023.

Wed Nov 22 202321:36Mariners Looking At Jeimer Candelario
Free-agent infielder Jeimer Candelario is among the Seattle Mariners' options at third base after they traded Eugenio Suarez to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. If the Mariners don't sign Candelario this winter, there is a good chance that Luis Urias could be the favorite to start at the hot corner to begin the 2024 regular season. Candelario is a hot commodity on the open market after hitting a combined .251/.336/.471 with an .807 OPS, a career-high 22 home runs, 39 doubles, three triples, 70 RBI, eight stolen bases and 77 runs scored in 140 games with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs in 2023. The 29-year-old switch-hitter isn't a big power guy for a third baseman and has only a .243 career batting average in eight seasons in the big leagues. He did the majority of his damage in D.C. in 99 games before hitting just .234 in 41 games for the Cubs after he was traded.

Tue Nov 21 202300:11Nationals, Blue Jays, Angels Among Teams Interested In Jeimer Candelario
MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Monday that the Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Angels are among a number of teams interested in free-agent first/third baseman Jeimer Candelario. The soon-to-be 30-year-old had a solid 2023 season with the Nationals and Cubs, slashing .251/.336/.471 with 22 home runs, 70 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 576 plate appearances. Candelario will be a popular off-season name among MLB teams, and his landing spot will impact his fantasy value for 2024. He has shown the ability to hit for power and average, but his counting stats could be boosted or hurt depending on the lineup he finds himself in.

Fri Nov 10 202301:09Jeimer Candelario Drawing Plenty Of Interest
Free-agent third baseman Jeimer Candelario has drawn interest from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Angels already this offseason, as well as the Toronto Blue Jays. It's no surprise after the 29-year-old had a strong bounce-back season in 2023, hitting a combined .251/.336/.471 with an .807 OPS, career-high 22 home runs, 39 doubles, three triples, career-high 70 RBI, eight stolen bases and 77 runs scored in 576 plate appearances and 140 games with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. The most intriguing thing about Candelario is that he's so versatile, as he's a switch-hitter and can play both third base and first base. His free-agent market will be robust this winter.

Wed Nov 8 202315:02Blue Jays Meet With Jeimer Candelario's Representation At GM Meetings
The Toronto Blue Jays have met with the representatives of free-agent infielder Jeimer Candelario at the general manager meetings this week. The club has issued a qualifying offer to free-agent third baseman Matt Chapman but are presumably checking in on Candelario in case Chapman decides to decline the offer and pursue a multi-year deal on the open market. It was a nice bounce-back season in 2023 for Candelario, who hit .251 with a career-high 22 home runs and eight stolen bases alongside an .807 OPS across 140 games split between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. The 29-year-old has generally been an above-average bat with roughly average defense while spending time at both corner infield spots throughout his career.

The veteran is in the midst of a big bounce-back season, hitting .258 with 16 home runs, six stolen bases, and an .823 OPS across 99 games with Washington after struggling to a .217 average with 13 homers, zero steals, and a .633 OPS across 124 games with Detroit last season.

Mon Jul 31 202317:15Jeimer Candelario Not Playing Against Brewers
Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Ildemaro Vargas will get the nod at the hot corner instead and will hit seventh against Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes. Candelario's name has been thrown around often with the trade deadline approaching on Tuesday, and there's a chance he'll be dealt during Monday's contest. The 29-year-old switch-hitter is having a pretty fine season in his first season in D.C., slashing .258/.342/.481 with an .823 OPS, 16 home runs, 30 doubles, two triples, 53 RBI, six stolen bases and 57 runs scored in 99 games. There's a good chance that he may not see everyday playing time if he's traded to a contender, though, so fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility.

Sat Jul 29 202316:36Jeimer Candelario In The Lineup On Saturday
Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. This is good news after the 29-year-old injured his shoulder during Friday's game. He'll cover third base and bat third versus right-hander Carlos Carrasco on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Candelario back in their lineups here. The assumption is that Candelario is going to get moved at the upcoming trade deadline. A move to a contender should be able to increase his fantasy value.

Sat Jul 29 202301:21Jeimer Candelario Says He's Fine
Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) said he's fine after leaving Friday night's game early after a collision with New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil. Candelario was briefly worried when he felt something in his left shoulder, but he was able to swing in the cage after leaving and would have been able to hit if his spot in the batting order came up again. The 29-year-old went 1-for-3 with a walk in the 5-1 loss and is now hitting .254 on the year with 16 home runs, 52 RBI, five stolen bases and 55 runs scored. A popular trade candidate this summer, he might be sent to a contender before Tuesday's trade deadline, but that doesn't necessarily mean that his fantasy value will receive a boost for the rest of the season. Check back on Saturday to see if he's in the starting lineup for the Nats.

Fri Jul 28 202322:14Jeimer Candelario Injures Shoulder Friday
Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) was removed from Friday's game against the New York Mets early after colliding with infielder Jeff McNeil at second base. Candelario was in significant pain after the collision and was grabbing his shoulder while walking off with a trainer. The 29-year-old has frequently been mentioned as a trade chip this summer, but if he ends up missing significant time, that might be out of the question. Fantasy managers will want to check back for more information on the severity of his injury, and there's a good chance he won't be able to play on Saturday. Before leaving prematurely, Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, and he's now hitting .254 on the year with a strong .813 OPS.

Thu Jul 27 202301:04Angels Have Discussed Jeimer Candelario Trade
The Los Angeles Angels have discussed a trade for Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario, in addition to their recently completed deal with the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night for right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, according to a source. The Angels didn't wait long to get busy on the trade market after announcing Wednesday afternoon that they took two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani off the trade market. The Halos are clearly going for it, and they could use an upgrade at the hot corner with both Anthony Rendon (shin) and Brandon Drury (shoulder) on the injured list. The 29-year-old switch-hitting Candelario is having a solid season with 16 home runs and 51 RBI in 94 games for the Nats, but a trade to Anaheim could mean fewer playing time once all of their corner-infield options get healthy next month.

Mon Jul 17 202317:50Jeimer Candelario Back In Action Against Cubs
Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (thumb) is back at third base and is hitting third in the lineup on Monday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals with more thumb soreness, but he's back in there again to start the week for fantasy managers. The Nationals are hoping the 29-year-old third baseman can stay healthy and produce ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline, as Candelario could be one of the most coveted pieces on the trade market this summer. The switch-hitter is hitting .260/.336/.477 with an .813 OPS, 13 home runs, 27 doubles, two triples, 43 RBI, five steals and 46 runs scored in 86 games in his first year in D.C. A trade to a contender would only boost his fantasy value the rest of the way in 2023.
