Former Mets GM Steve Phillips predicts that Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Toronto Blue Jays’ first baseman, will sign with the New York Yankees next offseason. According to Phillips, Guerrero’s signing would be key in forming the core of the Yankees’ lineup, alongside Aaron Judge, and would allow them to spend less money than rival teams like the Washington Nationals. This prediction comes despite Guerrero’s past harsh comments about the Yankees, which he has since seemingly softened. The 25-year-old All-Star has expressed a desire to play for any team that needs him, but his recent comments suggest he may be open to exploring options in New York.
