I think it is a mixture of that shoulder injury and those 49 HR in the super juiced ball year making him enamored with swinging for the fences.
The former might be permanent, and the latter hasn't been cured for a couple years now so it's likely permanent too. He'll turn 30 next season so unlikely to hugely turn it around.
Zero chance the Reds eat $35.9m and cut him, though. I think he's going to be around for at least 1 more year if not 2 before moving on is even realistically entertained (if it ever is with this FO).
