The Guardians will need some help from players whose performance dipped in 2025 to make a playoff run this year… Will they get it?

Will it be David Fry who went from a 129 wRC+ to a 63 wRC+?

Will it be Stuart Fairchild who went from a 116 wRC+ against LHP to an 88 wRC+ against LHP?

Will it be Tanner Bibee who went from a 3.47 ERA to a 4.24 ERA?

Or will it be Tim Herrin who went from a 1.92 ERA to a 4.85 ERA?

What say you, Guardians fans? Who is our comeback player of the year when we look back on the 2026 season?
