Quinn and Haseley will likely platoon, with Quinn getting at-bats against left-handers and Haseley taking on the righties. Look for Quinn to get the start on Opening Day on Thursday against the Braves, since lefty Max Fried will be starting for Atlanta.
Haseley, who lost playing time this spring due to injury, still hit .316 with a .907 OPS. Quinn finished at .270/.747. Herrera was good, then bad for a while, and finished at .231/.726. Herrera hadn't played regularly since 2019, and it showed. So he'll be insurance just in case someone gets hurt, although former No. 1 pick Mickey Moniak, who had a great spring, might get the call before Herrera.
Herrera's much-publicized arrest on domestic violence charges and subsequent suspension probably played a role in the decision. But he made the choice easier with inconsistency at the plate.
