Blitzer Report ranked first to 10th in the major league of the year in the 2024 season on the 26th (Korea time). The first place is the Chicago White Sox’s all-time slump. The second place is the fall of Blake Snell (32, San Francisco Giants).
Snell is one of the few Cy Young Award winners in Major League Baseball. In 2018, he became an American Lag Cy Young Winner with 21-5 record with a 1.89 ERA and 221 strikeouts in 180 ⅔ innings for the Tampa Bay Rays. 토토사이트 추천
And in the 2023 season, which is the first time in five years, he became a Cy Young Winner of the National League with 14 wins and 9 losses, 2.25 ERA, and 234 strikeouts in 32 games. Based on this, he signed a two-year, 62 million-dollar FA contract with San Francisco ahead of the 2024 season and became a teammate of Lee Jung-hoo.
He is having his worst season, however. Three months have passed since the opening of the season, but he has yet to win any game at San Francisco. He has lost three games and posted an ERA of 9.51. As he had to sign contracts right before the opening of the season, he failed to systematically build himself in his team. Nevertheless, he cannot be free from criticism for poor individual training.
He became a free agent. He started to play on the injured list on April 25 due to left adductor muscle injury. He returned to the mound on May 27 after rehabilitation from a minor league team. However, he was on the injured list on May 15 due to left groin injury on April 4. They are similar areas, but they are different. Anyway, his left leg is not good.
On the 24th, he took the mound for rehabilitation against the Round Rock Express for Triple-A Sacramento Rivercats. He also collapsed here. He allowed three hits, three walks and two runs during one ⅔ inning. If Cy Young Winner had this kind of performance in Triple-A, it should be considered that he was robbed of the game.
“Snell has not lived up to expectations at all since he came to San Francisco,” Bleacher Report said. “I don’t want to make an excuse, but I’m frustrated,” he told reporters after taking the mound on the 24th. “His figures are in stark contrast to the exceptional 2023 season.”
The timing of Snell’s return is uncertain. “San Francisco is not very good, but even if the ace they brought in actually throws the ball in good health, it raises questions about how long he will be able to continue,” Blitzer Report said. He means he can’t trust even if he comes back healthy. He has completely lost trust.
Snell can opt out and become a free agent after the end of this season. It must have been his plan to increase his ransom in the free agent market this winter. For now, however, declaring the free agent this winter is a shortcut that leads to lost children or plunging ransom. For San Diego, Snell will have to stay with him until next year.
