Bobby Witt Jr. admits it’s not the team they envisioned. Vinnie Pasquantino, once a 32-homer sensation, is stuck at just six homers and career lows in hard contact — though he’s back and has a chance to rebound. Salvador Perez, at 36, is fading fast, with diminished power and batting average, plus injuries and less playing time. And Matt Strahm, brought in to anchor the bullpen, is instead surrendering homers at alarming rates after a brutal June. The team’s struggles are real — and the pressure’s mounting.
