George Springer's 2025 campaign proved that age is just a number, as he completely reversed the aging curve. The 36-year-old was named the Blue Jays Player of the Year and the Most Improved player, based on the regular season, as voted by Toronto chapter of the BBWAA. He was nearly a unanimous winner, receiving 19 of 20 first-place votes.

Blue Jays 2025 awards (based on regular-season performance), as voted by Toronto chapter of the BBWAA:

Player of the Year: George Springer
Most Improved: George Springer
Pitcher of the Year: Kevin Gausman
Rookie of the Year: Braydon Fisher
John Cerutti Award: Ernie Clement— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) December 3, 2025

Throughout Springer’s 2024 season, he just couldn’t find his rhythm offensively, and it certainly looked like the six-year, $150-million contract was trending in the wrong direction.
