AJ would not commit to Baez being ready for the start of spring training. doubtful, but possible this hip injury was hampering him at the plate. more likely result is that his athleticism takes yet another hit and he never finds his previous form. until Harris finds someone better, I would lightly pencil Baez in for 2025, but it is obviously a matter of when they dfa him, not if. and that date is moving closer every day.
