In a new MLB Network Radio interview on Sirius XM, the soon-to-be 36-year-old talked about Torontoβs success and some of the team’s strengths.
βI love these guys. It makes it easy to do my job every day and not do too much,β Springer said. βWe complement each other well. Everyone understands how each guy hits and each guyβs strengths. Nobody is just trying to be the guy every single day. We just want to have a good at-bat and get on to the next guy.β
In 127 games in his age-35 season, Springer has a .949 OPS and 29 home runs, his best marks since a career-best 2019 season, when he had a .974 OPS and 39 home runs with the Astros.
Springerβs resurgence in 2025 after a career-worst year in 2024 — he had a .674 OPS and 19 home runs in 145 games — has been nothing short of incredible.
Springer, though, is seemingly more focused on Torontoβs overall team success rather than his own individual accolades.
βWeβve done a lot of things that we hoped to do. Weβre obviously in a good spot right now, but the jobβs not over. You play the game to be in these moments,β Springer said.
