Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing KBO interest
PFree Agent  AAA
December 4, 2023
Watkins is drawing interest from teams in the Korea Baseball Organization, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Watkins, 31, holds a career 5.97 ERA over 40 appearances -- 31 starts -- at the major-league level. He'd probably have to settle for a minor-league contract but could find a more lucrative opportunity overseas.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Watkins started 20 of his 23 appearances in 2022, logging a 5-6 record, 4.70 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with a 63:30 K:BB over 105.1 innings. Needless to say, that's not an exciting stat line. At 30 years old, Watkins is likely to top out as a back-end starter at best. The good news was he showed an improvement in keeping the ball down with a 42.5 percent groundball rate and a 0.9 HR/9 last season. If he can maintain that progress and his spot in the rotation, he could at least be a serviceable seat-warmer until the Orioles' big-name pitching prospects are ready for the majors.
