This article celebrates the birthdays of former Blue Jays players George Springer, Danny Valencia, Robinson Diaz, and Randy Myers. It highlights their careers with the team, their contributions, and memorable moments.
George Springer turns 35 today. Springer is in year four of a six-year $150 million contract. His OPS by year: 2021: .907 2022: .814 2023: .732 2024: .687 Next year? The year after? I’m not all that hopeful. I was talking to someone about how the PED years ruined our understanding of how players age. Springer is aging like a player does when not using PEDs. Anyway, Springer has a 10.2 bWAR with the Blue Jays . That puts him 32nd among Blue Jays batters all time.
506 with 7 home runs in 58 games, but the team put him on waivers and he was picked up by the A’s. He was put on waivers because the team decided that Ben Revere should play everyday. Revere would hit .319/.354/.381 down the stretch and help the Jays make the playoffs. Valencia would play through the 2016 season with the A’s, then go on to play with the Mariners and the Orioles. In nine seasons, he hit .268/.317/.426 with 96 home runs in 864 games.
