EDGE Analysis

Fowler set a career-high mark in the power department, launching 17 homers while also swiping 20 bases, though his average dropped to a personal-worst .250. The 29-year-old had a solid postseason as well, but he is expected to decline the qualifying offer, worth $15.8 million this season, in order to test the market.
