However, if a deal is not reached the Blue Jays could deal him. Bleacher Report&#8217;s Zachary D. Rymer proposed this deal that ships Guerrero to the Boston Red Sox:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blue Jays receive: shortstop Franklin Arias and right-handed pitcher Luis Perales<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox receive: first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The team should have the money for it, and Guerrero probably wouldn&#8217;t need to be sold on Fenway Park,&#8221; wrote Rymer. &#8220;He has a 1.054 OPS there, compared to a .823 OPS at the Rogers Centre.\u00a0As fun as it is to imagine a Guerrero-for-Triston Casas swap, the two players have mismatched trade values. It&#8217;s also hard to fathom the Red Sox being OK with sending such a dangerous young hitter to a division rival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the Blue Jays would not be getting Casas, they would trade one guaranteed year of Guerrero for the Red Sox&#8217; No. 4 and No. 7 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. Arias could be their future shortstop as Bichette will be a free agent next winter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 19-year-old Arias, in particular, has legitimate upside,&#8221; wrote Rymer. &#8220;Even if he never hits for much power, he profiles as a slick-fielding shortstop with a reliable stick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More MLB:\u00a0Mets projected to land Blue Jays&#8217; Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 1-for-1 blockbuster<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Blue Jays are running out of time to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr and could trade him to ensure they get some return before he potentially walks next winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":26997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
