BRONX, NY - MAY 20: Toronto Blue Jays First Baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (27) during the fourth inning of a Major League Baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees on May 20, 2026, at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, NY.

The Toronto Blue Jays entered the season expecting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to once again serve as the centerpiece of their lineup just one year after he agreed to a $500 million extension.
Instead, much of the conversation surrounding the club has centered on when the slugger will finally break out of one of the most surprising power droughts of his career.
That uncertainty has forced Toronto to explore alternative ways to maximize offensive production as the team looks to stay competitive in the playoff race. And one recent development indicates the team is now considering putting a brand-new player in at his defensive position.
