“Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s $500M Ambition: Could He Become the Blue Jays’ Greatest Legend?”

In simple terms, Guerrero’s superpower in the batter’s box is his ability to combine thunderous raw power with uncommon bat-to-ball skills. Since 2019, only two players have posted a higher slugging percentage than Guerrero’s .498 while striking out at a lower clip than Guerrero’s 15.6%: José Ramírez and Mookie Betts. Guerrero doesn’t offer the same all-around game as Ramírez and Betts, but the fact that he brings a similarly potent combination of power and contact ability speaks to how gifted a hitter he is. Without the usual pitfall of whiffs, which tend to send even the best high-powered sluggers into slumps, Guerrero’s floor of production has always been exceptionally high, with a degree of dependability amplified by his tremendous durability. Guerrero hasn’t spent a day on the injured list as a big leaguer.
