2024 Fantasy Outlook
Margot's .264/.310/.376 slash line from last season looks similar to his 2022 line, but it resulted in a 12-point drop in his wRC+ (to a below-average 93) since offense was up league-wide. The veteran outfielder hit just four home runs with 38 RBI, 39 runs and nine stolen bases in 99 games, and his minus-three DRS was the worst mark of his career. Margot missed a month due to elbow surgery, and it's the second straight year he had a sizable absence due to injury. The defense seems likely to rebound since he's only just entering his age-29 campaign, but the upside is limited given his underwhelming power and speed production over the past two seasons (eight homers and 16 steals). At best he's likely to provide a decent average and reach double-digit steals while working in a reserve role. He was traded to the Dodgers from the Rays and then to the Twins in the offseason. he'll look to find a right-handed platoon role and be a back up to oft-injured Byron Buxton in center field.

Hits first homer
Margot went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's loss against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Margot was a surprise leadoff hitter against a lefty starter after he hit ninth in his other start against a southpaw, but he began the game with a hit and later hit a home run. He may not play against tough righties Tyler Glasnow and Bobby Miller on Tuesday and Wednesday, but Margot could lead off again Thursday against lefty Tarik Skubal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target of Yankees, Mets
The Yankees have had multiple discussions with the Rays this offseason regarding a possible trade for Margot, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the Mets have also talked with the Rays about Margot. The Yankees' preference is to add a left-handed bat, but they could trade for Margot and still add a left-handed hitter. Margot is a fit because he's capable of playing all three outfield spots and the Yanks are looking for help both in center and left field. The 29-year-old is set to make $10 million in 2024 and seems like a surefire bet to be traded this winter.

Margot started the season on fire, slashing .348/.412/.500 through 27 games before being put on the IL with a hamstring strain. After a short stay, Margot returned and posted a .256/.316/.344 over his next 24 games, then returned to the IL with a serious knee sprain, costing him another two months. Margot finished the season .240/.276/.318 in 38 games. All told, Margot put together a 106 wRC+ season, his first ever above average but it was clearly driven by an unsustainable start. For the first time since becoming a regular, Margot failed to register double-digit steals, likely due to two injuries to his lower half since five of his seven pilfers came during the first part of the season. As a righthanded hitter, Margot is always a candidate for a platoon, but his strong defense always leads to more playing time. Despite the odd course of last season, Margot is the same player, with some added health risk.
