If the Boston Red Sox are going to make a blockbuster move over the next few months to add to their roster, it could come in the form of Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Guerrero is one of the better players in Major League Baseball, and his contract situation with the Blue Jays has been in question over the past few years.
The Blue Jays didn’t do what they needed to do this offseason by extending the young star, and as a result, he’s ready to hit free agency in 2026.
And what he had to say recently should make all Red Sox fans excited about potentially adding him, citing that he’s willing to give all 30 teams around the league a chance to sign him.
“If I go to free agency, every team — all 30 teams — are going to have the opportunity to sit down with (me), to talk to me,” Guerrero told the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.
While he’s suggested he wants to return to the Blue Jays in the past, situations like this often turn players away.

If Guerrero isn’t happy with what the Blue Jays are doing, and there’s more reason than just this contract situation to believe that, he could be willing to join a team in the American League East to really put it to them.
The Red Sox would be adding a hitter in the middle of his prime, perhaps a top-five hitter in the game.
If the Blue Jays eventually know that he isn’t going to re-sign, trading him would be the logical thing to do. If that’s the case, the Red Sox are loaded with prospects to get a deal done.
