Part 6/9:
In addition to Guerrero's contract talks, discussions about other potential signings and the overall direction of the team are intertwined with his situation. There’s a growing concern that without a clear commitment to lock in Guerrero, the Blue Jays risk losing credibility in the eyes of prospective free agents. If franchise-level players don’t see a commitment to keeping stars around, they may be hesitant to join the team.
The conversation around the front office also reveals a growing dissatisfaction among fans regarding how the team has managed contract negotiations over the past few seasons. Many feel that the inability to secure talent, along with the potential loss of Guerrero, signals a worrying trend in the organization’s ability to build and maintain a competitive roster.
