They keep running out Arraez who has a 1168 OPS and leads the team in RBI. Eugenio Suarez has been DH'ing. Probably sticking with the pure power guy at DH is my guess. If Arraez wasn't playing out of his mind, Contreras would be in there.
If you don't care about having Thaiss on the team, why bother arguing about Wong vs Thaiss offensively??? You spend an awful lot of energy trying to show that Wong has something left in the tank for someone who also thinks he can go to AAA. If Thaiss and Wong are virtually the same player to you, it's probably more important to keep the same consistency from year to year with the pitching staff and not demote Wong.

That's 500+ innings of scouting plus our own personal history to have an opinion on his OF defense. Adding in ST would add an additional 100 innings.
Wong's stats are skewed by '24.
'23 79 wRC+
'24 112 wRC+ (not repeatable)
'25 39 wRC+
Thaiss
'23 85 wRC+
'24 84 wRC+
'25 89 wRC+
I'm much more comfortable with what Thaiss can do with the bat this year than Wong. He's been much more consistent over the past 3 seasons.
