Alonso is better than Candelario as a hitter in just about every way.

Candelario Career (2024):
BA: .240 (.225)
OBP: .318 (.279)
OPS: .735 (.707)
OPS+: 100 (90)

Alonso Career (2024):
BA: .249 (.240)

OBP: .339 (.329)
OPS: .854 (.788)
OPS+: 134 (123)

We cannot rely on Candelario to bounce back because there really isn't much to bounce back to.

I don’t care much for him either to be honest, but with his salary I feel like he’s GONNA play. No way do we eat his contractespecially if we’re active in free agency, and I highly doubt we find any takers for him unless it’s in a package deal for a big upgrade elsewhere. sort of like adding Suarez to the Castillo deal years ago. If he can get back to his pre-Reds ways, he brings that switch hitting, contact element somewhere to the batting order. That’s what I’m hoping at least, if he stays.
