Xander Bogaerts has had quite the rollercoaster ride since joining the San Diego Padres, and as we gear up for the 2025 season, the stakes couldn't be higher. After signing a jaw-dropping 11-year, $280 million contract, expectations were sky-high. However, two seasons in, and the results have been underwhelming, to say the least. With injuries hampering his performance and the Padres missing the playoffs despite a star-studded lineup, the question looms: can Bogaerts reclaim his status as one of the game's elite hitters?
Let's dive into the discussion. What do you think is the root cause of Bogaerts' struggles? Is it purely physical, or are there deeper issues at play within the Padres' locker room? With rumors swirling about potential trades, would you support the Padres moving on from Bogaerts, even if it means sacrificing a top prospect?
Moreover, if Bogaerts stays, what bold predictions do you have for his performance in 2025? Can he bounce back and prove his worth, or are we witnessing the decline of a once-great player?
As fans, how do you feel about the Padres' decision to invest so heavily in Bogaerts? Is it time to hold him accountable, or should we give him more grace considering the injuries?
