Fielder: 4049pa, 131wrc+, 2.4war/650

Also, if Vlad's career ends early due to injury, it's likely that insurance would pay out the contract and not the team.

Shoulder injury during spring training, think he only played in a few games... May have been sulking a bit but the problem was almost certainly that his timing was off.

It’s not realistic to me that he was trying and still struck out in 11 of his first 12 AB and 15 of 19. They lost 4 of their first 5, including two 1-run games. Shameful stuff that could be the difference between making the playoffs and missing them. Stay far away.

Even really good hitters go through goofy stretches all of the time.

Here...quick googly search.

Over a 20AB stretch, the MLB record for strike outs in 16, Yandy Diaz.

Devers is nowhere near good enough to be surprised when he has a super shitty week.

Yeah, it happens all the frickin' time. Especially at the start of the season. Just a weird hill to die on man, this is the total amount of action that Rafael Devers saw in the entirety of 2025 Spring Training due to his shoulder injury:

GP: 5
PA: 15

You can't swing the bat when you have an injured shoulder, so he had no time to ramp up and get his timing right.

And since I have Yandy Diaz on a couple of fantasy teams, I can also point out that he is currently:

6-for-40
.158 / .175 / .211
wRC+: 7

Time to start trying again, Yands!

This deal basically means the Jays wont stop spending either, weather they have a better chance of converting with Vlad locked in is another matter. Im not sure if they want Bo back or not, I'm fairly sure they see Gimenez as the SS of the future

Fair enough, but I’m sticking with my position that he was crybaby striking out on purpose. No alternative facts will be considered.
