FanPost Friday: MLB has murdered the baseball and every team is hitting like Miguel Cairo—now what?

Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. This tweet stopped me in my tracks yesterday because it put the league-wide offensive struggles into an easy to understand, stark reality for me (and probably for many Mariners fans who recognize these names).

Lifetime OPS
.682 - Deivi Cruz
.679 - Dee Strange-Gordon
.676 - MLB teams in 2022
.675 - Miguel Cairo
.673 - Yuniesky Betancourt
.672 - Neifi Perez— Matthew Pouliot (@matthewpouliot) May 5, 2022

As discussed on this week’s LL podcast, the “good” news is that it’s not just the Mariners who are struggling to hit this season.
