The Toronto Blue Jays are still uncertain about Vladimir Guerrero Jr's future with the team and it looks like he might be involved in a blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox for Triston Cacas.
The Blue Jays have been in negotiations with Guerrero over an extension and despite rumors that they will be raising their offer, many believe that Guerrero will not want to come back after all.

The Blue Jays ideally want to close a deal with Guerrero and keep him in Toronto but if they cannot agree on a number, they might need to look at trading him which is where the Red Sox come in.
According to MLB reporter Hannah Filippo, The Blue Jays could look at trading Guerrero to Boston in exchange for first baseman Triston Cacas and some prospects.
On Sunday, Hannah Filippo of FanSided proposed a trade in which the Boston Red Sox would acquire Guerrero and quickly give him the long-term extension he wants, pacifying their own angry fan base. In exchange, the Blue Jays would get their hands on Boston's own slugging first baseman, Triston Casas. -Roberts
There's no replacing Guerrero in Toronto, but could Casas quietly give the Blue Jays 95% of his production? He's got a 125 career OPS+ before his 25th birthday, and the term "light tower power" was coined to describe hitters exactly like him. -Roberts
Fans will surely be upset with Ross Atkins if he cannot figure out a way to get a deal done with Guerrero to keep him in Toronto for the rest of his career but the way things are going, it seems unlikely.
Atkins has basically over played his hand when it comes to Guerrero and is now in a tough spot where he will likely have to overpay if he really wants to keep him.
