Signs with Red Sox
Smith signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith slashed .263/.337/.375 across 89 plate appearances with the Rays' Triple-A affiliate while on a minor-league deal. He was released by Tampa Bay earlier on Wednesday and will now join the Red Sox on a major-league deal to help make up for the loss of Triston Casas (ribs). Smith will likely end up splitting time with Garrett Cooper (wrist) at first base, replacing Bobby Dalbec.

Stat Review
How does Dominic Smith compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Garnering interest from five teams
Smith is receiving interest from five teams, including the White Sox, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The White Sox would appear to be an odd fit given that they have Andrew Vaughn at first base and Eloy Jimenez at designated hitter. However, Smith could be viewed as merely a depth piece at this point in his career considering he's managed just a .666 OPS with 23 home runs over the last three seasons. He did have a strong finish to the 2023 season with the Nationals, producing an .846 OPS and six long balls in September.

For the second year in a row, Smith's underlying metrics portended better production. His average exit velocity and Hard Hit rate were both his second highest ever, bettered only by his breakthrough 2020 campaign. His strikeout and walk rates were in line with career marks, but he posted a meek 67 wRC+. The Mets opted to cut bait, non-tendering him so Smith is looking for a new home. Actually, that could be what Smith needs since Citi Field is one of the least favorable hitting venues. Smith was surprisingly able to secure a major-league deal with the Nationals despite the recent struggles, and it appears he'll open 2022 as the club's primary first baseman, which could put him in the middle of an underwhelming lineup.
