Shifts to Royals
Nola was released by the Brewers and signed a major-league deal with the Royals on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nola was in camp with the Brewers on a minor-league deal, but he became expendable after the team added Gary Sanchez. He was released as a result but quickly found a new deal with the Royals, where he's likely to compete for the backup catcher role with Freddy Fermin (finger). Across 154 plate appearances with the Padres in 2023, Nola posted a .146/.260/.192 line.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Nola is known more for his bat than his glove, but he struggled in both areas in 2022 with a .650 OPS and minus-six DRS. He played in 110 games and had a solid 8.9 percent walk rate, but he hit only four home runs and had a .290 wOBA. A .251 average was also about 20 points lower than his career mark, which is troubling since his. 284 BABIP wasn't a significant drop. Nola should open 2023 in at least a part-time role, but prospect Luis Campusano will be in the mix to start Opening Day and could be a lineup regular with a strong start to the campaign.
