Pear tree randomly dying?

I planted this Bartlett pear about 4 years ago, a potted big box tree before I discovered bare root options. It has never done much, leaving out but barely growing each year. Last year it randomly threw out about 4 pears.

I’ve thought about tearing it out before but this spring it seems to be dying, about half dead but random limbs? Also noticed the second photo, where the dying limb almost blends into part of the trunk.

It is reasonable at this point to pull it out and replace with better quality right? Any idea what would be causing this type of decline?
