The Toronto Blue Jays' recent momentum has helped revive their disappointing season, and George Springer's turnaround in the last few weeks has been a big part of that.

The Blue Jays successfully snagged the first two games of the series against the St. Louis Cardinals, and Springer came up clutch, recording three hits in seven at-bats (.429 average) with two RBIs and two runs scored. The Blue Jays are riding a three-game winning streak and will be looking to sweep the Cardinals on Sunday. 

Across his last 15 games, he's resurged from his struggles, sporting a .310 batting average with three home runs, 14 RBI, and six walks. He's been performing like the 2025 Springer who was a reliable offensive force batting .309 with 32 home runs, 84 RBI, and a .959 OPS across 140 games. 

According to Baseball Savant, in May, Springer had a bat speed of 72.1, and in July it was boosted to 74.1, and his fast swing rate has also significantly jumped from 22.3% to 43.8% in July.

Why George Springer is a valuable asset that the Blue Jays should hold onto

While the Blue Jays have plenty of work still left to do if they want to make a push for the postseason, their recent success has transitioned them from clear-cut sellers to retooling. 

Springer, Daulton Varsho and Kevin Gausman are all on expiring contracts set to become free agents following this season and have gained significant trade buzz as top trade candidates. But with the way Springer has been heating up, he's a valuable asset that the Blue Jays should hold onto if they can remain consistent, as they now sit four games out of a final wild-card spot. 

If the Blue Jays do a blend of buying and selling and pick up players that can increase their chances of taking a final AL wild-card spot, it could help transform their season. In early July, their offense hit rock bottom, scoring only three runs from July 3 to 6, which was a strong sign leaning them heavily towards being sellers. 

While Springer has had his fair share of offensive slumps in his career with the Blue Jays, he's continued to hustle and be a driving force as a 36-year-old veteran whose resurgence continues to make him a fan-favourite. His surge in July had him batting .274 with five home runs, and his recent dominance has been the pick-me-up the Blue Jays have desperately needed.

While his impressive stretch has certainly upgraded his trade value, when Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith asked Springer about his 10-and-5 rights following the Blue Jays' victory on Saturday, Springer stated, “I'm here. I love this team. I love this organization, and as far as I know, I'm here.”
