"The Blue Jays were one of baseball's best at producing offense in 2025, finishing the season tied for fourth in wRC+ (112), fourth in runs scored (798), third in wOBA (.330) and third in OPS (.761)."
"Big contributions to the 2025 offense came from Addison Barger and Daulton Varsho who will be looked at once again to pump some juice into the Blue Jays lineup."
"Barger was playing his best baseball from May to July, posting a .277/.332/.554 slash line with a 141 wRC+ from May 15 to July 15."
"Despite a considerable slump in the later part of the season, Barger still finished the 2025 season with a barrel rate in the 70th percentile."
The Toronto Blue Jays have a strong group of position players heading into the 2026 season, especially after losing Bo Bichette. In 2025, they ranked high in offensive metrics, with George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as top contributors. The second spot in the batting order was filled by Nathan Lukes or Davis Schneider, while Bichette occupied cleanup. With his departure, the team looks to Daulton Varsho and Addison Barger to enhance the lineup, as Barger showed promise during the 2025 season despite a late slump.
