Blue Jays might end up having to trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr soon
The Blue Jays failed to sign Guerrero to an extension before the start of Spring Training which has now put them in a tough spot since they need to decide if they will trade him now or hold onto until the trade deadline or the end of the season.
The Blue Jays have a few options but if they feel like he will land elsewhere in free agency, the smart move would be to trade him now since they could likely get a massive return for him.
The first option is to trade Vladimir Guerrero Jr right now. His value is pretty after a stellar year last year. He was the sixth-best hitter in baseball by wRC+ in 2024, and it may not get much better -Roberts
The team could always look to hold onto
Guerrero a bit into the season to see how things go and hope that he comes out of the gate very strong in hopes of raising his trade stock.
The second option is to wait it out and see after a couple months. Guerrero could conceivably get off to a hot start and push his value even higher. -Roberts
The final option would be to trade him at the deadline if they have a repeat of last year, they could look to trade him to at least get something out of a wasted season but will not get as big of a return.
The final option is to trade him at the deadline. Teams can get desperate at the deadline, especially those in holes. -Roberts
The smart move would be to try and see if they would be able to land Guerrero for a reasonable price and if not, they need to look to trade him as quickly as possible since losing him for nothing in free agency makes no sense.
