The Daycare is getting older.
Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh are all coming off interesting 2024 seasons. Bohm was an All-Star, but faded partly due to injuries. Stott, a Gold Glove finalist, had a bad year at the plate as he played through an elbow injury. Marsh also finished as a Gold Glove finalist, but saw his numbers in the batter’s box go down after a solid year in 2023.
All three players are at least 27 years old and are arbitration eligible. They are affectionately known as “The Daycare” by some fans after it was revealed in 2022 that hitting coach Kevin Long referred to the younger players on the roster by the nickname.
