The 2024 season was a comeback one for Jurickson Profar as the former top prospect was an All-Star for the first time in his career. However, MLB teams have been surprisingly hesitant to show interest in signing the free agent during the offseason. The reluctance raises questions about why a player with such a strong comeback is not attracting more attention from franchises.
Profar's 2024 performance with the San Diego Padres showed a big change from previous years. After struggling to find consistent playing time and production in prior seasons, he emerged as one of the NL's more reliable hitters with his career-high 24 home runs.
Profar, whose MLB debut was in September 2012 with the Texas Rangers, hit .280, with an OPS nearing .850, an on-base percentage of .380 and a slugging percentage of .459. He had 85 RBIs while stealing 10 bases.
