Blue Jays: Ryu's rough 2021 Season and a prediction for 2022

Blue Jays are looking forward to the 2022 season. Hyun Jin Ryu had a rough season in 2021.

Ryu's first season with the Blue Jays was disappointing. He posted a 1.7 WAR and 4.37 ERA through 169 innings of work. Ryu is on a four-year, $80 million contract with Blue Jay.

Ryu had a tough season in 2021. Robbie Ray had one of the best seasons of his career. Kevin Gausman signed a five-year, $110M contract with Toronto. Ryu is one the highest-paid players on the Blue Jays, making $20M annually during his four-season contract. He will probably play less than ace-level in 2022. The average retirement age for MLB players is 29. for all major sports leagues. A lot of teams don't give long contracts to older players. They just want younger players, so they want to keep them. He predicts a repeat of Ryu's 2021 stats for the 2022 season.
