The most disappointing player for every MLB team from the 2024 season

Montgomery failed to land a multi-year deal in the offseason, settling for a one-year deal with a player option during Spring Training. He never looked right when he finally took the mound and was eventually banished to the bullpen. It now looks likely that Montgomery will exercise his option and remain with Arizona in 2025.

A young star in Atlanta, Harris got off to a slow start this season before suffering a hamstring injury. He won't come close to reaching the .800-plus OPS of his first two seasons as he tries to regroup for 2025.

Holliday's hype was through the roof as the first overall pick of the 2022 draft, but he was never able to perform in the majors this season. He was demoted after a brief stint in April, and has continued to struggle since being promoted in late July.

The Red Sox had high hopes for Grissom as the sole return for Chris Sale in the offseason. Unfortunately, he's suffered one injury after another this year and also struggled at Triple-A. 

The level of expectation for Swanson is high in Chicago, given his lucrative contract, but he had one of the worst seasons of his career while battling nagging injuries. Swanson will likely finish the season with a sub-.700 OPS for the first time since 2018.

Robert is one of many White Sox who disappointed in a historically bad season. After hitting 38 home runs last season, Robert's numbers plummeted and he missed significant time due to injury.

Marte was seen as a building block on the Reds roster after his strong debut performance last season. He suffered a huge setback this year, missing the first half after testing positive for PEDs and struggling upon his return. He showed a sub-.600 OPS and started to lose playing time.

Cleveland resisted the temptation to trade Bieber before his walk year, and had high hopes after he looked great in Spring Training. However, Bieber lasted only two starts before tearing his elbow ligament, putting the Guardians in a rough spot with their starting rotation.

Bryant's seven-year, $182 million contract signed in 2022 continues to look worse and worse. He had another injury-plagued season, playing only 37 games and struggling with a .623 OPS.

Torkelson appeared to be the centerpiece of the Tigers lineup after hitting 31 home runs last year. He reverted back to slumping when the season started and was demoted to Triple-A for the bulk of the season. The good news is that Torkelson's power did start to show up again late in the year following another promotion.

The first year of Jose Abreu's three-year deal was bad in 2023, and it only got worse this season. The former White Sox star was demoted to the minors after a slow start, and the Astros eventually released him after only 35 more games played in the majors this year.

The athletic Garcia got off to a strong start with the Royals this season, but his bat quickly quieted. While he was strong defensively and a major threat on the basepaths, Garcia's OPS was well below league average.

Detmers still has excellent stuff, but the former first-round pick continues to see his career decline. After early-season struggles, the Angels demoted him to Triple-A in early July. Detmers did pitch well in September after his return, so there's hope heading into the offseason.

Outman finished third in the NL Rookie of the Year vote in 2023, but was demoted early in 2024 after a slow start. Subsequent promotions didn’t show much progress, and the Dodgers eventually addressed center field by trading for Tommy Edman.

Anderson’s performance plummeted in his last two years with the White Sox, and he settled for a one-year deal with Miami during Spring Training. Somehow, the numbers got even worse with Anderson hitting .214/.237/.226 in 65 games before his release.

Hoskins was Milwaukee’s big offseason signing, but his performance didn’t go as planned. While his home run power returned after returning from a torn ACL, the former Phillie didn’t do much else with a sub-.300 OBP down the stretch.

Julien looked like Minnesota’s long-term second baseman after his rookie season, but now that status is in question. He’s been up and down between Triple-A and the majors this year, mired in a sophomore slump.

Baty has been anointed the Mets third baseman over the future for the last several years, but that status is on shaky ground. After a slow start, Baty was demoted to Triple-A. In the meantime, Mark Vientos has run with the third base job while Baty has missed time due to injury.

Rizzo’s numbers nosedived last season, a slump that was blamed on an undiagnosed concussion. Injuries have continued this season for Rizzo, and his bat has been even quieter. Heading into free agent, Rizzo could struggle to find a job at age 35.

Noda was a terrific addition at the top of Oakland’s batting order in his rookie season in 2023, but he couldn’t carry that performance into 2024. The A’s demoted the first baseman early in the year, and he will finish with a sub-.500 OPS in MLB this season.

Philadelphia signed Walker to a four-year deal last year, and it’s a contract they’re likely regretting. His ERA has hovered near 7.00 this year as he’s fought injuries.

Hayes has had nagging back issues for much of his career, which continued this season in arguably his worst season. The former Gold Glove winner finished his season with a .573 OPS over 96 games.

Bogaerts signed an 11-year deal in San Diego prior to last season, but the Padres haven’t seen great return yet. Shifted from shortstop top second base this season, Bogaerts started off slowly before hurting his shoulder. He began to right the ship down the stretch but still had his worst offensive campaign since his rookie season.

Doval emerged as an All-Star closer in 2023, but saw his control leave him this year. That led to a demotion to Triple-A in the second half. Doval was replaced in the closer role by Ryan Walker, a move that could stand beyond 2024.

The streaky Rodriguez put the Mariners on his back late in 2023 after a slow start. It was too little, too late to do the same this season after an even longer slump. The Mariners star finishes with his worst MLB season in three years, which likely led directly to the M’s missing the playoffs.

Walker is arguably the Cardinals best hitting prospect since Albert Pujols, and looked to be on track with a hot streak in the second half of his rookie season. He regressed early in 2024, leading to a demotion to Triple-A. Walker has shown flashes since returning in September, but the final numbers are a far cry from what the Cardinals needed from him to be competitive this season.

After a breakout 2023 season, Lowe failed to make his season debut until May due to oblique and hamstring injuries. The injuries seemed to nag Lowe for much of the year, as his OPS dropped by more than 100 points. The Rays are still counting on Lowe going forward after trading Randy Arozarena.

Garcia was one of several disappointing players for the defending World Series Champs. His bat was quiet for most of the season, and he ends the year with the worst OPS since his breakout season in 2021.

The Jays disappointed again in 2024, and no player was more disappointing than Bichette. The former All-Star hit only .225-4-31 in 81 games, and missed much of the second half with calf and finger injuries.

Ruiz got off to a slow start this season after battling the flu and was never able to get fully back on track. The 26-year-old finished the 2024 season with the lowest OPS of his career.
