Sportscaster urges Blue Jays stop Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from entering free agency in 2025 - Source: Getty
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will become a free agent after the 2025 season. The four-time All-Star made his MLB debut with the Blue Jays in April 2019 and has since emerged as the face of the franchise. He is also coming off a great year in 2024, hitting .323 and 30 home runs.
Such production could easily fetch the 25-year-old a sizeable contract next offseason, but this could be avoided if the Blue Jays make him an undeniable offer.
Given the Blue Jays often fall short in acquiring top free agents, like Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto, MLB Network's Kevin Frandsen believes the franchise should prevent Vladdy from entering free agency next year.
"I think the world of him, I do. And I think, for the Blue Jays, it would be huge to retain him," Frandsen said on MLB Network Radio. "The part that I love is that he's openly talked about how he just wants to be there. He loves it there. And they’ve got to find a way.
