AP source: Rockies sign Profar to shore up outfield
A person familiar with the negotiations says the Colorado Rockies have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with outfielder Jurickson ProfarMARCH 19, 2023•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brady Singer - Struggling at WBCSinger gave up four runs on four hits over two innings in his lone appearance for Team USA at the World Baseball Classic.
ImpactFantasy managers should be concerned for a couple of reasons. One is that Singer has made just three competitive appearances between Cactus League and WBC play. He's also logged just 6.2 innings this spring, which leaves some doubts about how stretched out he'll be to begin the regular season. With Singer's poor performance on the international stage, his usage has been limited. He should be fine long-term, but with the USA making a deep run in the tournament, he'll likely get only one or two more outings in the Cactus League before the 2023 campaign gets underway.

Jurickson Profar - Lands with COLProfar agreed Sunday to a one-year, $7.75 million contract with the Rockies, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ImpactHeyman reports that Profar can earn another million in incentives if he reaches 400 plate appearances. Considered to be the top bat remaining on the market, the 30-year-old hit .243/.331/.391 with San Diego in 2022 over 152 games while adding 15 homers and five stolen bases. He's played all over the field and could be an option for Colorado in the outfield as well as at second base. Profar is a flawed option who is unlikely to hit for average, but the friendly confines of Coors Field does give him some potential fantasy relevance in 2023.
