Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays: A Gamble That Could Make or Break Baseball’s Future
Talent Surrounding Guerrero is a Factor
The 2025 Blue Jays probably don’t look like anyone associated with the Blue Jays had hoped. In the highly competitive AL East, TRACR preseason projections gave them the fewest wins (78) and the worst shot at reaching the postseason (18.6%).
Guerrero is still here, but the roster around him consists largely of players in decline or in “prove it” mode, which might even include Bichette, who is coming off a miserable 2024 campaign with a raw value+ (RV+) of 88 (league average is 100) over 334 plate appearances. The Blue Jays have the oldest pitching staff in baseball at the moment, and the bottom half of their order is populated by a rotating cast of 25- to 31-year-old players with some promising bat skills but questionable star potential.
