The storybook career renaissance is over for Jose Iglesias. The veteran shortstop was one of baseball's coolest stories in 2024, and he earned his place with the Padres in the offseason. But Father Time has come again for the 35-year-old.
The San Diego Padres must bench Jose Iglesias immediately if they are going to save their struggling offense. It's time to face the music. Iglesias is slashing .224/.293/.271, good for an OPS of .564 and an OPS+ of 57. His -0.9 bWAR is the worst in his career, as is his -0.5 fWAR.
The veteran really is not doing anything right at the plate.
