Following the news yesterday that the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. didn’t reach an agreement, some reports have flown around about the Yankees being an attractive destination for the star 1B.
While Guerrero himself has mentioned publicly his clear disdain for the Yankees, perhaps top dollar is all he’s after, and in that scenario, former MLB GM Steve Phillips believes they’re going to swoop in and steal Toronto’s top player next winter.
“I think he’s going to be a Yankee…they’re gonna give him sort of Soto money and in the end they’ll have Vladdy and Judge in the middle of the lineup instead of Soto and Judge” – Steve Phillips
This follows a report from Jon Heyman that listed the Yankees as one of the three favorites to land Guerrero Jr.
