Troubling Vladimir Guerrero Jr. UPDATE - Blue Jays "Could Make A Move"... (Toronto Blue Jays News)

If the Blue Jays manage to fumble the bag on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr extension, it could be the biggest failure this franchise has ever seen. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. extension conversation updates have been leaked by Mark Fiensand, and the Blue Jays are no where close to an extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. In addition, the Blue Jays may consider a huge trade for Guerrero if the price is right. What would that price be? Let's discuss!

Get Atkins off the roster !!!

[@richardfortin2232]

The deal with Houston is absolutely needed and as they say ... a little pain now stands for a huge gain and turn around within 2 years, especially with the current guys who have made the transition from AAA to the Big Show! Baseball is Baseball and Business is Business that is as I see !!!

[@JadeaRS4]

Never. End of story!!!

[@mikakinos4546]

Even discussing getting rid of Danny Jansen makes me sick of this team

[@kofibabone725]

Oh lord..... Jansen is so garbage. You must like losing.....

[@guardiantransit7527]

Blue Jays MGMT talked a big story a few years ago. What have the done, I will tell you, they destroyed this team! Do not go let attendance fall. Fans were given a huge lines of bull with Atkins and Shapiro

[@keithleach1880]

yep been preachin that for a while but tickets and gear keep selling so fans must like Atkins

[@Stenuarts5287]

Great ...now..were left to restructure with not a thing

[@braderson4774]

I remember when we signed Vladdy at 16 years old.... keep him here.. move Bo if anyone and build up around Vladdy! We needed to bring in some big time hitters to compliment Vladdy this past off season. No need to blow it all up, but lets tweak the team to address the needs that have been glaring, and then see where we are at.

[@Warren-BCBOY]

The fan base is not going to agree with any Vladdy trades that are possible to happen. Honestly..... it's tough to turn down that Houston deal.

[@buelahland]

Vlad NEEDS much stricter coaching, batting help and DISCIPLINE. He needs to learn English. And grow up.

[@MrCoda47]

No, when I see all this stuff and all these people say, you got to sign this guy it makes me sick the amount of money that people think some guy that can smack the ball or smack a puck around is worth. Too many people out there, making the one percent of the population super rich for playing sports it's freaking joke

[@djl9919]

trade Bo to the Twins for Ed Julien & #7 prospect. let the Twins say to Bo "your playin 2nd base"

[@lukemichiels689]

Vladdy need to be sign long term I don’t care

[@johnnyb.635]

Vladdy has got to go! He's never been, and never will be a SUPERSTAR in MLB. He's where and who he is based on Rogers SN fake media hype. He's average. His comments toward the Yankees were out of line and classless (I'm not a Yankee fan by any measure), and claiming that Toronto is "HIS HOUSE!" gimme a break....he hasn't earned the right to make that claim anywhere except his home address!! The Blue Jay farm system is the WORST in MLB by a LARGE MARGIN!! After Vladdy goes (for young prospects), we can only hope that Rogers gets an offer they cannot refuse and sells the team to someone with vision and desire - someone who will be sole/majority owner that isn't part of "fake" media ownership with steady "SPIN CITY" BS. The Toronto Leafs; even home-grown talent doesn't want to play or live in Toronto! Rogers and Bell Media ding-dongs, slant all the views. They own all the media outlets allowed to cover both Leafs and Jays - get the media corruption pic? Bell and Rogers hate my diatribe, often blocking my account - I guess free speech is ok so long as it falls within Bell and Rogers scope of REALITY! Fans pay the freight - these losers need to listen! Toronto is a loser in ALL SPORTS ownership!! Imagine the comments coming out of Rogers suggesting they don't need ticket revenue!! Seriously? Then why raise ticket prices? Why demand that Blue Jay season ticket holders renew a month earlier this year? Personally, I would like to see fans stop showing up to venues owned and operated by rogue owners Rogers and Bell. Neither corporation gives a you-know-what about winning Championships, because that costs BIG MONEY with no guarantee of victory. These two entities play it safe always - why else do you think dumb-dumb Shanahan is gainfully employed? Keep Bichette, lose Vladdy;, keep Jensen, lose Atkins, Shapiro and John Schneider. In essence, start over, new owner etc. etc. etc. This is the same ownership group that let Teoscar, Lourdes and Gabriel leave town because.......? Feel free to add your own euphemisms here!

[@lancegallant3647]

Get Soto Vlad would be stoked ! Trade Bo Kikuchi carry on 😊

[@mikeyisniceha]

Resign but only if it’s reasonable

[@billhamilton5498]

Here's the real question. Are the Blues Jays a development type franchise or a big market team. Milwaukee Brewers or Boston Red Sox. It is tough to be both with any great success.

[@prometheanspark3189]

Why are the coaching staff not able to get the best put of these hitters and pitchers? I would also start looking at leadership and management, and just overall competence in mentorship. Heads must roll at least by the off season. I wouldnt be sad if heads rolled right away. Why wait?

[@johnpierce4833]

You guys do realize that the astros have one of the worst farm systems so the mariners 7th and 8th prospects would be first and second on the Astros

[@ryanfox2488]

Hate to say it, but Vladdy isn't going to reach his full potential until he's with another team.

[@OkayDreamzzz]

Been saying this forever unfortunately

[@gunnerkimmel4915]

Why though what’s the difference

[@ryanfox2488]

@@gunnerkimmel4915 Better coaches, less pressure to perform for a Country instead of a City, just a fresh team to reset? Take your pick.

[@StephenHunts]

So true!.

[@Notjackpausner]

Unless Atkins is fired and we get new coaches

[@yeht668]

Fav yt channel

[@cheezwhizjeep454]

Alonso will really set what the 1B market is this winter. I assume the Alonso deal plus 3-4 years is what Guerrero would get.

[@mcfarlac1]

Picture how bad this offence would be without Vladdy. The Jays have scored 390 runs so far this year which is 24th in MLB, without Vladdy I’m picturing 50 fewer runs or about 340 runs on the season which would be 28th or 29th on the season. We need three guys like Vladdy batting 2nd 3rd 4th.

[@felmarbas5978]

To lazy to hustle a poor example to his teammates

[@robrussell3023]

Trade Varsho back to the Diamondbacks and get Gabby back. These morons should have never traded him in the first place!!

[@mikakinos4546]

Sell Vladimir jr and I quit on this team

[@kidfromthehood3608]

Bring Vladdy to Seattle. He and Julio would be so dope.

[@andrewgibson5861]

From an approach to winning at baseball it would be best to trade off Vlad/Bo and all expiring contracts. Then give Soto his massive contact in the off season. I’m not a Soto fan but Jays really need a legit top hitter. Vlad isn’t close to Devers value. Vlad plays first and plays it poorly. Horwitz is the better cheaper option at first.

[@sir.muffiniii7011]

Horwitz is not better he’s played like 30 games, and Devers is a worse defender too, and Soto is not signing here

[@rogerlambert9316]

No more Vladdy Daddy?

[@jhberg17]

I think 8 yrs, $250k is reasonable.. but he’s probably looking north of $300 million, whatever the term.

[@pashektu]

Keep Vladdy and Jansen build around them

[@scottcarter6623]

if the team only lowballs the offer to him it makes a good excuse when you trade him. "We couldn't reach a deal"

[@MrGlider-002]

but they still have to explain how vlad guerrero got his brother the h.s. dropout a job and promoted within. His salary is way more then any of the productive players......they don't want to do that. "we could reach a deal with him but not our performers" would be difficult to explain.

[@Flexb123]

@@MrGlider-002 What hitters on the jays are outperforming him? LOL He's the only one that has a decent OPS. Nobody else is even close. Horwitz but yippee, he's played like 30 games and league hasn't focused in on him yet. Just like Kirk, Schneider, Varsho he will prob crash and burn once they do. Also, none of those other guys bring fans to the park. If jays give him Vladdy. they're goin back to the dark years where a Justin Smoak was your most popular player or Erig Sougard was your best hitter LOL

[@MrGlider-002]

@@Flexb123 so rather then address how poorly management has been with managing funds providing suitable living conditions allocating resources to the players producing we're going to terrorize star players? you can put a dress on a male but your essentially putting a band aid on a much more deeply rooted problem

[@billhamilton5498]

If the Jays are going to do this then lets go all in on a trade. BLOCK BUSTER that would shake the whole sport and be remembered for a long time. The Mariners are the only team to target for this type of trade in my opinion. This sounds crazy but if you did this you are the a contender for 5 years with the other trades yo make this year focused on pitching prospects and international signing money. I put in Bassitt as this give the Mariners a 2 year window. There would be a shit load of BC people going to watch these games and buying merchandise. Bo Bichette SS To the Mariners Vladimir Guerrero 1B Yusei Kikuchi LHP or Bassitt RHP Yimi Garcia RHP Bryan Woo RHP IN MLB Rotation Michael Morales Ready 2025 Harry Ford C Ready 2025 Cole Young SS Ready 2025 To Blue Jays Jonny Farmelo OF Ready 2027 Cole Phillips RHP Ready 2028 Aiden Smith OF Ready 2027 Jurrangelo Cijntje 2024 Draft pick Ryan Sloan RHP 2024 Draft Pick 250k International Signing next 3 years per free agent signed ANY Bassitt, Guerrero, Bichette retained salary costs more i.e. picks in future (Manfred hinted it's coming)

Vlad overvalues himself I wouldn’t overpay for Vlad He thinks he’s worth 300+ he’s not Make the trade get that 3top 15 prospects for him Think with heads not hearts , that is better for the team to rebuild Not even worth what he gets now let alone 30 lol 😂 hell no !!!

[@sir.muffiniii7011]

He is worth 19 million lmao

Trade him for Cash Consido!

[@billhamilton5498]

I would not sign any player more than 5 years unless you are buying free agent years.

[@densnow4816]

Trade Vlad! Fan base would be more motivated by investing in future than risking overpay for a player who always falls short. His value will never be higher than now! Last place screams rebuild.

[@paulkelly4202]

Springer and Kiermaier are no brainers trades. For big money players trade Bichette and Kirk Both are still in their prime. Kirk can only hit the long ball a small per cent of the time. Bichette is working thru something. this season. Pitchers trades should be Swanson and Pearson. Zak Pop has done okay but might help make a larger deal possible As much as I hate it Kikuchi may go. Can't see any of this will happen but something has to As far as Atkins going he should immediately be fired. Although the effort on the field is the players job. Not his

[@Dulcimerist]

If you were another team, would you be excited to trade for those players?

[@gootsycollins3046]

didnt swanson go to the yankee's?

[@Dulcimerist]

@@gootsycollins3046 That was Tim Mayza. I can see where he and Swanson could get mixed up. Both had been great relievers, and both have been horrible this season.
