The ball last year was obviously not as it was. Offence was down. Same ball for everyone. Changes were made at Rogers Centre. It seems the ball did not go as far as before in Toronto. Different currents? Humidor? Jays offence was down across the board as a result. There were so many balls caught at the fence last year that were homers previously, especially right center, and especially Chapman. Using all fields resulted in oppo homers before, not so much anymore. Sign Chapman, who should be healthier and pulling the ball with his high exit velocity, the Blue Jays are a better team. A couple of those balls by Chapman go over the fence including the last game in Minny, the narrative for 2023 and Chapman is different.
On the topic of Chapman, they absolutely should sign him. I do wonder if the front office values the pick they get for him signing elsewhere more than the rest of us do.
