Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Investment Outlook
With young superstar offensive talent surrounding him (i.e., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio) it is given that the Blue Jays will be a force to reckon with at the plate. Deep playoff runs for many years would not be out of the question if they can secure some good arms via free agency.
