After last season, it was easy to think that George Springer’s career was winding down. In his prime, Springer was a perennial All-Star who won a couple of Silver Slugger awards and was the MVP of the 2017 World Series (Although the real MVP of that series might have been the trash can). But last season, his OPS was down to .674, marking the third straight year that it had declined. At age 34, it was worth wondering just how much longer he had left.
