Free agent Jesús Aguilar reaches $3M, one-year deal with A's

The Oakland Athletics and slugger Jesús Aguilar have agreed to a $3 million, one-year contract

JANUARY 27, 2023 • Associated Press

Expected to play every day Aguilar is expected to receive everyday playing time between first base and designated hitter, Athletics general manager David Forst told Martin Gallegos of MLB.com on Friday.

Impact Forst was speaking to reporters after the A's made their one-year, $3 million contract with Aguilar official. The 32-year-old put up just a .661 OPS over 129 games for the Marlins and Orioles last season, but it's not a surprise to hear the plan is to play him regularly in 2023 given the state of Oakland's roster. Still, it's difficult to imagine Aguilar will have much fantasy utility outside of deep leagues. With Aguilar around, Seth Brown figures to play the outfield more, assuming he's not traded.

Signing deal with A's Aguilar is set to sign a contract with the Athletics, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Impact It's a one-year, $3 million deal, adds USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Aguilar largely struggled at the dish for both the Marlins and Orioles in 2022, ultimately finishing with a .235/.281/.379 slash line over 507 plate appearances. The 32-year-old first baseman/DH has some pop left in his bat, however, and appears to have picked the right spot in Oakland to maximize his potential for playing time in 2023.

Sits third straight Aguilar isn't in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

Impact Aguilar has made one start in the last six days, and it seems as if the Orioles are content with using multiple other players in the designated hitter spot. Anthony Santander will get the nod Monday, moving Austin Hays over to right field and giving Kyle Stowers a start in left field while batting eighth.

Sitting again Sunday Aguilar is not in Sunday's lineup against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Aguilar has only started once since Sept. 20, and it came against a right-handed pitcher, so his playing time may be pretty unpredictable over the rest of the season. He is hitting .184 with one home run in 12 games since joining Baltimore.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Aguilar will sit Saturday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Aguilar had started against all five lefties the Orioles faced since he joined the team at the start of September, but he'll sit here even with Framber Valdez on the mound for the opposition. He hasn't turned around his down season thus far with his new team, as he's hitting just .184/.205/.263 in 12 games for Baltimore. That poor performance could continue to cause his playing time to dip.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Thursday's lineup Aguilar isn't starting Thursday against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Aguilar has gone 3-for-12 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over his last three games but will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Anthony Santander is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Wednesday Aguilar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact With the Orioles giving Adley Rutschman a day off behind the plate but keeping his bat in the lineup as the team's designated hitter, Aguilar will head to the bench. Aguilar, who started each of the past three games while going 3-for-12 with a home run and a walk, may have overtaken the struggling Rougned Odor for a spot in the Orioles' everyday lineup. Odor is on the bench Wednesday for the fourth consecutive contest.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Key hits in comeback win Aguilar went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Aguilar's eighth-inning solo shot got the Orioles within a run, and he added an RBI single in the ninth to put them ahead by two. That latter hit proved key, as Toronto was able to get one run back but fell just short of forcing extra innings. Aguilar has multiple hits in two of his last three games, but he hasn't sen steady playing time since he joined the Orioles at the start of September. The veteran first baseman is slashing .233/.280/.381 with 16 homers, 51 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base through 122 contests between Baltimore and Miami this year.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adding Gunnar Henderson, Jesús Aguilar show Orioles are serious about playoff push Gunnar Henderson's arrival is second only to Adley Rutschman's this year on the flip-out scale in Charm City.

Homers twice across doubleheader Aguilar went 3-for-7 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Impact Aguilar was one of the few offensive bright spots for Miami on Saturday, as he homered in each game and brought his total on the season to 15. Entering Saturday's games, Aguilar had managed only four hits across his previous 35 at-bats, so this was a needed performance. Overall, Aguilar has a .242/.289/.403 line across 418 plate appearances for the season.

Sitting again Thursday Aguilar is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Aguilar will ride the pine for a second straight game Thursday as he appears to be in a timeshare with Garrett Cooper and Lewin Diaz at first base and designated hitter. Diaz will draw the start at first and bat seventh versus Philadelphia.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Aguilar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact When both players have been healthy this season, Aguilar and Garrett Cooper have typically occupied the first-base and designated-hitter spots on a regular basis, but they could be part of a three-way timeshare with Lewin Diaz at the two positions for the rest of the season. Since Cooper was reinstated from the injured list a week ago, Aguilar and Cooper have picked up four starts in six games, while Diaz has drawn three.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Aguilar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Aguilar is 3-for-15 with a solo home run through five games in August and will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale at Wrigley Field. Lewin Diaz will start at first base while Nick Fortes serves as the designated hitter.

Swats 13th homer Aguilar went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Impact He got the Marlins on the board by taking Mike Minor deep in the fourth inning, and that was all the support Sandy Alcantara needed in a 3-0 shutout. Aguilar is up to 13 homers on the season, but he's slashing just .223/.267/.366 since the beginning of July and could begin to lose playing time to Lewin Diaz as Miami falls further out of the playoff picture.
