The Toronto Blue Jays had a stacked roster this year, which included George Springer, who at 35 years old, had one of the best season of his career but unfortunately for him the MLB did not recognize his efforts at the end of season awards.
Springer was not selected for the all MLB first or second team, and didn’t win the comeback player of the year
Springer snubbed by MLB, becomes trend for Blue Jays.
Gavin Groe of Athlon Sports reported on Springer’s stellar season, after a miserable 2024, he came back looking better than ever in 2025. He was arguably the best player all season for the Blue Jays, and didn’t receive any awards for it.
“But in 2025, he turned back the clock and delivered arguably the best season of his career. Springer posted a .309 batting average, .399 on-base percentage, .959 OPS, 32 home runs and 84 RBIs across 140 games.”-Groe
Springer lost out to Ohtani in the DH category for first all MLB team and to Kyle Schwarber for the second team.
Additonally, Springer lost to Jacob DeGrom for Comeback Player of the Year, after an injury sidelined DeGrom almost all of last season. It’s unfortunate Springer’s year received no recognition from the MLB, but the Blue Jays know what they have in him.
“While he didn’t receive an award, Springer’s 2025 was still a resounding success. With renewed energy heading into the final year of his contract, he remains a decorated veteran with four All-Star selections and three Silver Slugger Awards. He won a World Series with the Houston Astros in 2017 and now has a chance to chase one more ring with Toronto. The 2026 season could be his last shot to deliver a championship to the Blue Jays.”-Groe
Springer will look to continue his stellar play next season, he will be integral in the Blue Jays success, depending on who they acquire on the mound, they may have to rely even more on their hitting to win the World Series.
