Reports suggest that MLB executives believe the Toronto Blue Jays may consider trading their star players Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. An anonymous rival executive finds the Blue Jays' asking price for Guerrero Jr. and Bichette before the MLB trade deadline to be excessive. Despite their name value, both players have struggled recently, potentially affecting their trade value.
If the Blue Jays traded Vlad Jr, people might expect a big return because of his name. However, his numbers have declined since 2021, his SLG is below .400 this year, and he plays a low value position. I could see Toronto getting closer to $10-15M in value, but not much more. https://t.co/qj3TFR0N0D
With rumors swirling around the #BlueJays trade candidates, don't expect massive returns for 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ($8.4M surplus trade value) or SS Bo Bichette ($24.3M) - despite their name value, both players have struggled recently and will be expensive next year.
