Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drops 2-word reaction as Spring Training begins for the Blue Jays superstar

The Toronto Blue Jays endured a hugely disappointing season in 2024, even though Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was one of the best performers in the MLB. The 26-year-old first baseman has now entered his final year of club control and could become a highly coveted free agent at the end of the 2025 campaign.

On Sunday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. posted an update on social media and shared a short message to motivate himself and his comrades for the challenges that lie ahead this year.

"Keep working," Guerrero Jr. wrote with an image of himself in his training facility.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has arguably become the face of the Toronto Blue Jays franchise since making his major league debut with the team as a 20-year-old back in 2019. He enjoyed his breakthrough season two years later when he picked up his first All-Star selection and led the MLB with 48 home runs to finish as the runner-up for the American League MVP.

Although he remained an All-Star, his offensive production declined over the next two seasons. However, he delivered a truly resurgent campaign in 2024, featuring in his fourth straight All-Star Game before ending the year with the second Silver Slugger award of his career. He also finished sixth in the AL MVP race.

As Vladimir Guerrero Jr. approaches his final season before becoming eligible for free agency, the four-time All-Star has reportedly set a Feb. 18 deadline for the Toronto Blue Jays to offer him a contract extension. Although the Blue Jays have maintained that they will do everything to keep the player, it seems likely that Guerrero Jr. will be traded by the team.

The New York Mets are reportedly looking to make a move for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Mets have already added Juan Soto from the free agent market to their, besides bringing Pete Alonso back.

Guerrero Jr. batted .323/.396/.544 last season with 75 extra-base hits, including 30 home runs. He also drove in 103 runs and finished the campaign with an OPS+ of 166.
