The Toronto Blue Jays still seem uncertain on what they will do with superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr and it looks like a trade to the Boston Red Sox could be in the cards.
Reports came out this morning that the Blue Jays are set to meet with Guerrero this week but if they are still not willing to reach is number, it seems like a pointless meeting as he has made it clear what he expects from his next contract.
The Blue Jays and Red Sox could look at potential blockbuster trade for Vladimir Guerrero Jr
The Blue Jays need to make up their mind on Guerrero as holding onto to him for the 2025 season just to let him go in free agency seems like a waste when they could get an incredible return if they trade him now.
The Red Sox are looking for a great right handed hitter to add to their lineup and it looks like if the Blue Jays do not sign an extension with Guerrero, they will do everything possible to get a trade done.
On Thursday, Cody Williams of FanSided discussed the possibility of the Red Sox trading for Guerrero, using their deep farm system to bait the Blue Jays into trading with their division rivals. -Roberts
"Guerrero is the white whale, to be sure, and I do have a hard time fully envisioning the Blue Jays trading him simply because that organization has been so unwisely stubborn," Williams said.
While trading to a divisional rival like the Red Sox is not in favor of the Blue Jays, Boston has a ton of incredible prospects and options to offer the Blue Jays which might make them take the offer.
Moving a superstar within the division is fairly unprecedented, and that alone might be reason enough for the Blue Jays to hang up on the Red Sox. But Boston has three top-10 prospects in all of baseball, so dangling one or two in front of Toronto might get them to listen. -Roberts
If the Blue Jays and Red Sox go through with this trade, this will likely go down as the biggest trade of the last 25 years if not more.
