MLB honors Toronto Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero Jr as he is named the winner of a Silver Slugger award

Guerrero is coming off of an incredible 2024 season which proved to many of the haters that his 2021 was not a fluke and he is one of the best hitters in baseball which this award confirms.

The Silver Slugger award is given to the best hitter at each position in each league which Guerrero has been announced as the winner for first base in the American League for the 2024 season.

This Silver Slugger award proves once again why the Blue Jays should make signing Guerrero to a contract extension the top priority for the off-season but in unfortunately does not look like it is.

Guerrero is coming off an incredible 2024 season where he put up 30 homeruns to go along with 199 hits, 103 RBIs, a .323 batting average and .396 on base percentage which is exactly why the Blue Jays need to extend him.

Signing Guerrero to an extension quickly will also show free agents that the Blue Jays are looking to win which will attract higher end talent.

The Blue Jays silver Slugger winner has mentioned on multiple occasions that he wants to stay in Toronto so it is solely up to GM Ross Atkins at this point.
