The Toronto Blue Jays could apparently be looking at a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Mariners involving multiple players which includes Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Blue Jays and Mariners could look at blockbuster trade involving Vladimir Guerrero Jr
According to Bleach Report's Zach D. Rymer, the Blue Jays could be interested in a trade with the Seattle Mariners for Vladimir Guerrero Jr that would see a couple high end prospects head back to Toronto.
Rymer believes that the Blue Jays could trade Guerrero to the Mariners who are in desperate need of offense for top end prospects catcher Harry Ford and first baseman Tyler Locklear.
On Friday, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer floated a trade package that would ship Guerrero to Seattle in exchange for top catching prospect Harry Ford and first baseman Tyler Locklear, who debuted with Seattle in 2024. -Roberts
If the Mariners are serious about trying to land Guerrero, they will likely need to improve this offer as the Blue Jays have made it clear they would be looking for a massive return for Guerrero.
"Of all the would-be contenders in MLB, none needs an impact bat as badly as the Mariners," Rymer wrote. "Guerrero is about the best possible fix that the Mariners can hope for." -Rymer
The Blue Jays are still pushing to get a deal done with Guerrero but as updates continue to state that the two parties are far apart on a contract number, there is a good chance he ends up traded.
The Mariners will definitely have a lot of competition on trying to acquire Guerrero if he does not get a deal done with the Blue Jays since many teams would love to have him.
If the Mariners could snap their fingers and add Guerrero to their roster, it would certainly cure a lot of ailments. They might even be able to win a trade bidding war based on the strength of their farm system. But can they really afford his contract? -Roberts
