Giants may pursue Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in trade

The San Francisco Giants had a busy offseason. They signed star players Willy Adames and Justin Verlander. However, they also faced disappointment when former Cy Young winner Blake Snell moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This makes it challenging for the Giants to compete in the National League West, where the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks are also strong teams. As the MLB trade deadline approaches in July, there is speculation about potential moves. CBS Sports writer Mike Axisa mentioned the Giants as a possible destination for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a four-time All-Star from the Toronto Blue Jays. This idea may seem unlikely, but Axisa believes it's not impossible. Guerrero and the Blue Jays could not agree on a long-term contract, which means he may enter free agency soon. The Blue Jays are expected to compete in 2025, so if they are still in the race, they are unlikely to trade him. For the Giants, acquiring Guerrero would require a significant trade, especially since it could only be for half a season. However, if the Giants are in contention for a Wild Card spot and aiming for their first postseason appearance since 2021, adding Guerrero could strengthen their chances. The Giants have been active under new leadership, and pursuing Guerrero at the trade deadline could be a smart move. Fans will be watching closely to see if he becomes available in July.
