Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Wilmer Flores, 34-year-old former San Francisco Giants infielder, has been deemed obsolete by MLB due to declining performance metrics. A year after hitting 3 home runs in a game and leading the majors in RBIs, Flores failed to secure any MLB contract offers during the 2026 free agency period. He posted a .241 batting average, 16 home runs, and 71 RBIs with a .686 OPS in 125 games for San Francisco in 2025. Ranking near the bottom of the majors in average exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and expected slugging percentage, Flores was not offered a major-league deal. He signed with the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican Baseball League in March 2026, where he is currently batting .328 with 2 home runs in 19 games. He plays alongside former teammates Robinson Canó, J. Davis, and Justin Turner.
