Blue Jays Face Uncertainty Over Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette's Futures

Toronto weighs potential trades and contract negotiations as Guerrero eyes free agency and Bichette's status remains unclear.

The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly considering trading one of their stars, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Bo Bichette, if they fall out of playoff contention this season.
Guerrero Jr. has rejected a deferred $500 million contract offer from the Blue Jays, seeking a fully guaranteed deal of the same value without deferrals.
Guerrero's potential free agency could make him one of the most sought-after players, with some rival executives believing he is worth his $500 million asking price.
The Mets, previously speculated as a potential suitor for Guerrero, are reportedly unlikely to pursue him due to their team's financial strategy and positional priorities.
Bo Bichette, whose contract negotiations have been kept private, is seen as a more likely trade candidate, particularly for teams in need of a shortstop.
