GEORGE SPRINGER NEWS

Might bat lower in order in 2025 Blue Jays manager John Schneider indicated Thursday that Springer might not be his leadoff hitter in 2025, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The overwhelming majority of Springer's starts since joining the Blue Jays have come from the leadoff spot and Schneider didn't dismiss using the outfielder there again this season, but he's also considering Bo Bichette for the top of the batting order, "depending on who we're facing." Vladimir Guerrero and Anthony Santander are slated to hit second and third, respectively, while Schneider mentioned leadoff and cleanup as options for Bichette. It's possible Springer will be used in whichever of those two spots Bichette doesn't occupy.

Could see time in left field Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Springer might see some playing time in left field this season, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Springer has played just three innings in left field at the major-league level and those came back in 2018. However, like Springer, Anthony Santander has also primarily been a right fielder in his career, so Springer could accommodate him some days by shifting to left. Schneider also noted that Springer is a prime candidate to bad leadoff in 2025, which is where he's spent the overwhelming majority of his time with Toronto.
