4/5 -🧵
Holdovers:
- Billy Wagner: This is his 10th and final year on the ballot. Wagner, a dominant closer, fell just five votes short in 2024.
- Carlos Beltrán: Continues to gain support, potentially due to his all-around skills, but his association with the 2017 Astros sign-stealing scandal has impacted his vote counts.
- Andruw Jones: Has seen his vote percentage increase significantly, recognized for his defensive excellence and power at center field.
- Bobby Abreu: A consistent performer with a solid on-base percentage and stolen base totals, though not yet reaching the induction threshold.
- Alex Rodriguez: Despite his impressive statistics, his past with PEDs continues to affect his voting results.
