He turns 30 in August. Players don't turn their entire career around at this age. This hot streak is just a fluke.
His career high in home runs is 16 in 461 at bats. This year he has 15 in just 230 at bats. His current slugging percentage (.522) is almost 100 points higher than his career (.428).
If there was any logic or sense to Reds, they would be glad they had a player like Drury who is easily the best Red on the team in 2022 so far.
In a real world, it would be Votto and Moose long gone.
It would be typical to continue to punish players for playing well. The worst thing you can do for The Reds is play well. That is a sure way to get traded. It is huge that Drury can play many positions, and Farmer can play all positions. They are low budget players to have on the team in 2023. In a world that makes sense, Drury and Farmer would be back in 2023 and it would be Votto and Moose getting shipped out.
