Is the MLB overvaluing power hitters? Santander and Alonso's contract struggles raise serious questions. Are teams finally realizing that defense and all-around skill matter just as much as hitting home runs? This could be a turning point in how teams build rosters. What do you think? Is the era of the one-dimensional slugger coming to an end?
I predict that the Blue Jays signing Santander for $89 million will set a precedent. Teams will be more hesitant to hand out massive contracts based on power alone. Will this lead to a more balanced and exciting game overall? Or will offenses suffer? Let the debate begin.
What does this mean for the future of players like Alonso? Will he have to settle for a smaller contract than he expected? Or will another team overpay for his power? Could this uncertainty actually benefit smaller-market teams who can now snag undervalued players with more diverse skillsets? This could be a major shakeup in the league's power dynamics.
