00:00All right, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. coming up on the final year of his deal with the Blue

00:06Jays.

00:07Gonna get a nice bump in salary again with them.

00:10If the Blue Jays run it back, he'll stay with them, George, in the offseason.

00:14But this is a very interesting case in your dynasty league, because if you remember several

00:19years ago, we were talking about Vlad Jr. being one of the very best keepers in all

00:24of fantasy in years, and, you know, I don't know what the Blue Jays are going to end up

00:29doing here.

00:30I know they made a nice deal there for Caccucci.

00:32They got some players back for Houston, but, yeah, I don't know.

00:37I'm just not sure.

00:38Are the Blue Jays, George, do you think that they're going to try again with this group,

00:41or do you think that they're going to just punt?

00:43What do you think?

00:46I thought they should have broken it up more than they actually did.

00:49I mean, I would have made more trades.

00:51I don't know what the offers were, but you said it, that Caccucci deal was wow.

00:55They really got a lot for, let's face it, an SP4, SP5.

00:59I know Houston was definitely ready for arms there, but I'm surprised they gave up that

01:03much for him.

01:04I would have thought that maybe Guerrero could have gone, Bassett, Gossman, Gossman got wrecked

01:08last night.

01:09Maybe they should have tried to get out from underneath that contract.

01:12My best guess is he stays.

01:13Either he's the guy they're going to try to, you want to call it a build around, he's the

01:17face of the franchise, whatever it might be, I think he stays.

01:19I also don't think he'd get the kind of offers that they would consider moving him for, you

01:24know, since he's pretty much that one trick pony, the home run guy.

01:28So I think he stays with Toronto.

01:29I think they're going to be another team next year that we're like, oh, wow, this should

01:32be a decent team.

01:33And they'll disappoint again.

01:34That's just what Toronto does.

01:36It's funny.

01:37They remind me a lot of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the NHL.

01:40Same thing.

01:41A team that looks great on paper never gets it done.
