2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lee signed a six-year, $113 million deal with the Giants in December after seven excellent seasons in Korea. Top of the scale contact ability carries his profile and helped him to a Rookie of the Year, an MVP and a lifetime .340 batting average. He's recorded a strikeout rate of 7.6 percent or better for five consecutive seasons, walking more than he struck out in each of those campaigns. Lee's strikeout rate could double upon his move to MLB and he'd still probably hit for a good average. The question is what else he'll do. Lee should help the Giants out with good outfield defense, and he should pitch in on the basepaths, though his 10.5 steals per 600 plate appearances hardly paint him as a burner. The main issue is that Lee's power may be almost non-existent. He did manage 23 homers in 2022 but finished with a single-digit total five times. He was consistently among the KBO leaders in doubles, but reports on his exit velocity data are poor, so there may not be many more homers coming. He'll also have to prove his health after a broken ankle cost him half of last season, though his contract seemingly indicates the Giants have little concerns on that front. Read Past Outlooks
Moved to 60-day IL
The Giants transferred Lee (shoulder) to the 60-day IL on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lee will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after dislocating his left shoulder Sunday and suffering a torn labrum. He will finish his first season in the majors with a .262/.310/.331 slash line while hitting two homers and driving in eight RBI across 145 plate appearances. Ryan McKenna was claimed off waivers from Baltimore to fill Lee's spot on the 40-man roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Padres could pounce
Lee is "high on the Padres' wish list," Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Feinsand was told by one source that a deal between the two parties "could come together quickly" now that the Padres have freed up salary with Juan Soto and Trent Grisham off the roster. San Diego is suddenly in desperate need of outfield help following the deal, and it sounds like Lee could be its top target. The 25-year-old Korean import posted a .340/.407/.491 slash line during his seven years in the KBO. Lee has also piqued the interest of the Mets and Giants.
