One of the former Chicago Cubs stars has struggled immensely since joining the Detroit Tigers and was just placed on the IL on Tuesday.
Baez was a huge part of the Cubs championship run in 2016 as a mainstay in the middle infield. Known for his crazy, casual tags at second base, he was one of the most exciting players in baseball for many years.
After hitting 22 homers for the Cubs, he was sent to the New York Mets and had a nice bounce back second half heading into free agency.For the first season in Detroit, he was relatively the same player. He struggled with strikeouts like he always had, but hit 17 homers and played good defense. In the 53 games before the injury, Baez was off to the worst season of his career. With just one home run, he was hitting .183 with a 30 OPS+ and 42 strikeouts in 186 plate appearances. HisBaez has always gone viral for his seemingly careless swings at balls out of the zone, going back to his Cubs days, but it seems to be happening more often than it used to. Not even three years into the deal with the Tigers, it looks like one of the worst contracts in recent memory.
