2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Acquired in a blockbuster December 2025 trade, Contreras solves Boston's catching/DH need. He posted another consistent 20-homer campaign in St. Louis despite dealing with nagging injuries. His bat remains elite for the position. 

2026 Outlook: Moving to Fenway Park should rejuvenate his power numbers. Expect him to split time between C and DH to keep his legs fresh. A top-5 fantasy catcher who could push for 25+ homers hitting near the heart of the order. After suffering a broken arm and a fractured finger in 2024, Contreras proved his resilience by staying largely healthy and productive in 2025. The shift to the American League will allow him to rest his legs at DH more frequently, potentially unlocking a career-best offensive season in front of the Green Monster.
