The offseason is heating up, and with recent moves like the Yankees extending Aaron Boone and the Pirates signing Andrew Heaney, it's clear that teams are gearing up for a competitive 2025 season. But amidst all the transactions, one name stands out: Akil Baddoo.
Once a promising rookie with the Tigers, Baddoo's trajectory has taken a nosedive, culminating in recent surgery for a hamate hook fracture. This raises some intriguing questions: What went wrong for Baddoo after his breakout 2021 season? Can he reclaim his spot in the Tigers' outfield, or is this the beginning of the end for his time in Detroit?
Moreover, with the Tigers seemingly moving on with other outfield options, how do you see Baddoo's future playing out? Will he be able to bounce back and make an impact, or is he destined to be a cautionary tale of unfulfilled potential?
And let's not forget about the broader implications of these offseason moves. With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. expecting to hit free agency without an extension, how do you think this will affect the Blue Jays' strategy moving forward? Will they prioritize locking him down, or are they preparing for a potential rebuild?
