George Springer could be playing his final weekend as a Blue Jay.

Toronto was officially eliminated from the postseason following Wednesday's doubleheader loss to the Orioles, becoming the first team since the 2023 Rangers to miss the playoffs the year after reaching the World Series.

This weekend's home series against the Reds is the last before Toronto's offseason begins.

Springer is in the final year of the six-year, $150 million deal he signed ahead of 2021, and he's one of several Blue Jays set to become free agents in November.

Asked directly by Sportsnet's Shi Davidi whether he plans to retire, Springer didn't give a firm answer either way.

"I'll cross that road once I get to it. We've still got to get through these next three games, and then we'll go into the off-season, and I'll see what happens," Springer said.

"If my mind can say it, then my body can do it, my body can do whatever I tell it to do, hopefully."

Why his second-half surge complicates this decision

Springer had a rough start to 2026, hitting .218 with a .692 OPS, but he's turned things around significantly since the All-Star break, hitting .293 with an .800 OPS in the second half, well above league average.

That late-season form could genuinely support continuing his career elsewhere, even if a return to Toronto looks unlikely.

His comments carried real emotional weight regardless of what comes next.

"I'm very grateful to our fans, this team, this organization. Obviously this is not the way that we all wanted it to end. But if it is, I'm going to do my best to embrace being back home for one last time and making sure that I do anything I can to reciprocate to the fans," Springer said.

"I love this organization. I loved being a Blue Jay. I've loved every single bit of being here. I haven't really gotten that far yet. I've taken every day with these guys in stride."

Fans had already speculated earlier this year that his Toronto chapter might be closing, after he sold his $6 million Lawrence Park home in May.

Over six seasons and 648 games, Springer has left Toronto with memories that will last well beyond this disappointing finish, none bigger than the home run that sent the Blue Jays to their first World Series in 32 years.

Whatever he decides this November, this weekend gives fans one more chance to say thank you, whether it turns out to be a goodbye or simply a pause before his next chapter.
