<p>The 2022 MLB season is near its midpoint, with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/diego-maradona-hand-of-god-shirt-up-for-auction-could-break-5-64-m-record-set-by-mlb-icon-babe-ruth-20220406-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/new-york-mets-25-great-simply-amazin-players-of-all-time-20220412-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a></strong> being the two biggest stories when it comes to teams. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/oakland-athletics-rock-these-mlb-soccer-jerseys-inspired-by-the-teams-nickname-and-citys-murals-20200904-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Oakland Athletics</strong></a> are the biggest story in terms of flops for teams in the MLB this season with a pitiful 23-45 record.</p>
<p>When it comes to players,<strong> Luis Arráez, Aaron Judge, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-25-highest-paid-players-for-2022-season-20220427-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Verlander,</a> and Julio Rodríguez</strong> are among the standout players this season, leaders in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-winning-pitchers-in-2022-20220502-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many of the top categories</a>. Then there is the not so famous list of players who have gravely disappointed in 2022.</p>
<p>Here is a list of five of the biggest flops so far in the MLB 2022 season. <strong>These five players have a lot to think about going into the second half of the season.</strong></p>
<h2>Max Muncy</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_max_muncy_crop1655837184332.jpg_22069893_754571ca.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Max Muncy (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It has been a 2022 to forget for infielder Max Muncy, after a torn elbow ligament things have been pretty timid, with a batting average of just .153 and a dismal 4 home runs so far this season.</p>
<h2>Lou Trivino</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_lou_trivino_crop1655837112412.jpg_22069893_4af075bb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Lou Trivino (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>How much blame can right hander Lou Trivino really share playing for such a poor Athletics side? Trivino has a poor 1-5 record and an ERA of 8.66. Last season Trivino was a Reliever of the Month in the American League, this season things have not flowed well at all.</p>
<h2>Marcus Semien</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_marcus_semien_crop1655837063349.jpg_22069893_3456fb67.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Marcus Semien (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Marcus Semien’s move to the Texas Rangers have been widely disappointing with only a OBP of .288 and 6 home runs, not what you want from a player worth $175 million across seven years.</p>
<h2>Akil Baddoo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_akil_baddoo_crop1655836950396.jpg_22069893_d90363fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Akil Baddoo (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Akil Baddoo was supposed to have his breakout season this year for the Detroit Tigers, but that did not happen as he was busted down to Triple A ball by May, only having a .140 batting average.</p>
<h2>Cody Bellinger</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_cody_bellinger_crop1655836679218.jpg_22069893_8ea99a82.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Cody Bellinger (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Cody Bellinger has simply not improved, with only 8 home runs and a OBP of .277, Bellinger is nowhere near the accolades he was at two years ago. Cody Bellinger should be one of his club’s best players but for now is riding the wave that is the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-winners-list-of-world-series-champions-by-year-20211027-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2021 MLB regular season</strong></a> is on the books and we may have to wait for a few months until the 2022 campaign gets underway, <strong>but that doesn’t mean the offseason is being quiet</strong>. If not, just look at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Texas Rangers</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Following a terrible performance this year, in which they lost more than 100 games, the Rangers have made a splash recently <strong>by landing two of the biggest names on the market</strong>, <strong>Corey Seager</strong> and <strong>Marcus Semien</strong>.</p>
<p>Seager has been linked to a number of teams before leaving the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong></a> after six years <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/free-agency-2021-dodgers-corey-seager-has-reportedly-agreed-to-a-10-year-325-million-deal-with-the-texas-rangers-20211129-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to sign a mind-blowing contract withTexas</a>, who have previously landed former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Toronto Blue Jays</strong></a>‘ second baseman Semien. Now, the Rangers are apparently <strong>looking to add a new pitcher to their rotation</strong>.</p>

<h2>MLB Trade Rumors: Rangers looking to trade for one of the Reds’pitchers</h2>
<p>Shortly after they took all the spotlight with two big signings, the Rangers are taking center stage again as they <strong>would continue boosting their starting rotation</strong> for 2022,perJon Morosi of <em>MLB Network</em>.</p>
<p>According to him, the Rangers have got in touch with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-reds" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cincinnati Reds</strong></a> to discuss the possibility of trading for one of their starting pitchers:<strong>Luis Castillo</strong>, <strong>Sonny Gray</strong>, or <strong>Tyler Mahle</strong>. Following <strong>Kyle Gibson</strong>‘s trade to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Philadelphia Phillies</strong></a>, it’s a position where Texas need improvement.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>It remains to be seen whether the Reds will accept to trade any of them, who have all pitched under 4.00 ERA for the team. Meanwhile, the Rangers are becoming an attractive destination as they <strong>look set to make an impact next season</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Marcus Semien was third in the American League MVP voting at the end of last season and in 2019. </strong>In 2021 Semien’s produced a career year with 45 home runs and 105 RBI’s.</p>
<p><strong>Marcus Semien earned an estimated $18 million in salary</strong> last season and his ability to steal bases could be what puts the deal over the finish line. Corey Seager on the other hand had a more modest season at 16 home runs and 57 RBI’s. </p>
