The Toronto Blue Jays have some serious issues with veteran outfielder George Springer as he has been one of their worst players in Spring Training.
During a recent interview, Springer told Keegan Matheson that he is not worried at all about how he has been playing so far in Spring Training and that it is part of thee process as the results don't matter to him.
When asked about his spring so far, Springer said all the right things to MLB.com's Keegan Matheson, «I feel great, actually For me, it's about the process. It's not about the results. I want to make sure that I'm swinging at the right pitches and getting my swing off. Yeah, obviously everyone would like to see the ball hit the grass, but for me specifically, I'm working on the mechanical side of it.» -Springer
The Blue Jays have some big issues coming up with Springer
When it comes to Spring Training, stats for most starters do not matter as they are hold more importance with players on the bubble or trying to make the team which is not the position that Springer is in.
While spring stats don't mean much for a player like Springer, he has been putting up such terrible numbers that it is hard not to notice and have some kind of concern with a .107 batting average and .143 slugging percentage.
While spring stats don't matter at the surface, a player of Springer's calibre struggling out of the gate can be cause for concern - mostly because his recent history isn't backing him up. So far in 2025, Springer is sporting a .107/.324/.143 slash line with a .467 OPS through 12 games and 28 at-bats. -Shushkewich
While a player Springer will not lose his roster spot this early in the season or placed on the waiver wire, if he continues to play like this it is hard to believe that the Blue Jays would keep him for the entire season.
Again, this makes sense for a veteran player like Springer - he's not going to lose his roster spot and no, the Blue Jays aren't going to send him to the waiver wire anytime soon - and while he is saying all the right things, the results do cast a bleaker picture heading into a pivotal season for the Jays -Shushkewich
If the Blue Jays do decide to keep him even if he's game continues to struggle, he will surely have the worst contract in the MLB since he is making $25 million per season.
