Merrifield gives very honest answer on why he didn't re-sign with Blue Jays

Although he may not have been the same player he was in his prime with the Kansas City Royals, Whit Merrifield was still very solid for the Toronto Blue Jays. Merrifield, a three-time All Star, was acquired by the Blue Jays late in the 2022 season in exchange for Max Castillo and Samad Taylor. Many Blue Jays fans hoped he would be back for the 2024 season, but that did not come to fruition. Merrifield instead chose to join the Philadelphia Phillies, who are in Toronto right now for a two-game series.
