Part 2/7:
The contract solidifies Guerrero Jr.'s long-term future in Toronto, a move that many industry insiders had been anticipating. Renowned MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal was among the first to break the news, further confirmed by notable sources including Jeff Passan. After months of speculation about potential trades or free agency, this news instantly rendered Guerrero a pillar of the Blue Jays’ lineup for the foreseeable future.
Wardy, a Mets reporter and content creator, remarked that this extension eliminated the option of Guerrero being a potential replacement for Alonso, should the Mets decide against retaining Pete. With Guerrero's new contract, the dynamics of Alonso's upcoming free agency have shifted significantly, as the Mets must now re-evaluate their long-term plans at first base.
