7 years agoAccording to Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Yasmany Tomas looks to have a hard time securing a roster spot, let alone a spot in the starting lineup. The acquisitions of outfielders Steven Souza Jr. and Jarrod Dyson secured the most likely spots Tomas could play in the outfield. Among 12 other position players, there is depth even behind Dyson as the fourth outfielder. Tomas in incapable of providing league-average defense at any position, which further hurts his chances. Unfortunately, Tomas is still owed approximately $46 million of his contract. The likely route for Tomas will be to be designated for assignment, and he will have to report and use the time to improve his basic fundamentals. The only other option is to walk away from the contract altogether, as it is unlikely that he would get claimed by any other team or the Diamondbacks would take on another bad contract in a trade. Tomas should not be on any of your rosters.--Ellis Canady - RotoBaller
