On an annual basis that is probably true because his second half was so bad. However he was on pace for a career year in the first half '24 before he hit an absolute wall. He was hitting .294/.821 through the end of June and deservedly started the ASG, leading AL catchers in both fWAR and bWAR at that time. The data could fit a gradual decline narrative or playing through an injury/slump narrative. As an optimist I lean to the latter but we probably want to start thinking about depth and alternatives. His second half was so bad and went on long enough that you have to take it seriously. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/06/30/mlb-all-star-roster-projections-positional-war-leaders/74261534007/
