Blue Jays Talk · JTP: Chad Dallas Delivers & the AL Wild Card Race · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

But I I think that in much the same way that the projections weren't going to be swayed by his twenty twenty-five to the point that they thought, you know, he was the second coming of Babe Ruth, they're not going to think that he's unplayable.

In 2027.

So I think that part of what Seattle is probably looking for here is evidence that, you know, the contact quality is better, that it is being hit in optimal places, and that he is showing evidence of a turnaround.

Cause it's just such a tr a huge collapse.

And so much of the worst of it was right around the injury when he was hurt and trying to play through it and then coming back.

That I think that there are explanations.

For how his 2026 has gone, but you want to sh to see here and now before you go off for what might end up being a very long offseason that his 2027 might look better.

So um I, you know, you never want to assume that a guy's gonna uh continue to hit the way that Cal has, but the fact that he is demonstrating a capacity for this kind of hitting after such a long swoop, I think has to be encouraging, both for the

This year and for next year.

Yeah.

And I think, you know, if you're a Blue Jays fan, the encouraging part of that, which sounds dramatic and bad, is that for the guys who um were sort of not at the end of their career and you could attribute their their decline to age, Dan did see a pretty dramatic recovery um among the fallers in the following season.

I think they averaged something like twenty-six points of WRC plus gain in

In the in the subsequent season, assuming that they had four underplayed appearances, which is how you know that those were guys who, you know, merited playing time.

Um, so it's not a given.

And obviously, you know, Vlad has had big swings back and forth in the course of his career.

Um, but I I think that there's reason for optimism.

You know, sometimes regression uh is actually a force for good in a player's career as opposed to

Uh one that makes you wonder if they're ever gonna play well again.

I don't think that there's any harm in it.

I mean, you're right to to note that he is he is not the hitter that he was last year.
