2023 Fantasy Outlook
When Gonzalez is in the batter's box, he's interested in one thing: swinging the bat. His walk rates were routinely in the 3% range in the minors and his debut was no different as he walked at a 3.9% clip. That lack of patience is something opposing pitchers will be looking to exploit in the years to come. Gonzalez likes to go fishing but enjoyed quite a bit of success as a rookie, in particular after his return from an intercostal injury in August (.301/.333/.477, nine homers in his final 59 regular-season games). He's not a particularly good defender but does have a great arm, and Cleveland will need his bat in the lineup behind Jose Ramirez. Gonzalez puts the ball in play enough (19.6 K% as a rookie) despite the chase rate to think he should be able to hold his own as the league adjusts to him, but there may be an adjustment period in 2023.

Claimed by Yankees
The Yankees claimed Gonzalez off waivers from the Guardians on Friday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After an impressive rookie season in 2022, Gonzalez's numbers took a major dip in '23, when he slashed .214/.239/.312 across 180 plate appearances. The 25-year-old will have a shot at starting in the Yankees' outfield, though a bounce-back performance at the plate in the spring would greatly improve his chances.
