Springer Uncertain About 2027 Return After Blue Jays Contract Ends
The 37-year-old outfielder says he'll discuss retirement vs. playing with his wife this offseason, leaving his MLB future genuinely open.
George Springer's six-year, $150MM contract with Toronto has expired, making him a free agent for the second time. He told Sportsnet he has not decided whether to sign elsewhere or retire, framing the decision around family. Springer, 37, hit .249/.321/.405 with 15 home runs in 2026, a significant step back from his All-Star 2025 campaign. He also dealt with toe fractures and a nagging shoulder issue throughout the season.
