As a rangers fan, it’s been extremely frustrating to watch Semien the last two years. And even when we won the world series in 2023, he was abysmal in the playoffs. With his offensive decline being so fast, getting off his contract can’t be worse than Nimmo’s. I think nimmo altered his approach last year to try to hit for more power because his whiff% and chase% are still similar over the last several years. I am hopeful this offseason allows him to take care of his foot and get healthier!
As a Royals fan, the idea that an 89 wRC+ is a black hole makes me chuckle.
