Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Wins Arbitration Case Against Blue Jays
10 months agoToronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won his salary arbitration case against the team and will earn $19.9 million in 2024, according to a source. Guerrero will receive a $5.4 million raise this year despite seeing most of his numbers drop in 2023. The 24-year-old three-time All-Star slashed .264/.345/.444 with 26 home runs, 30 doubles, 94 RBI, five stolen bases and 78 runs scored in 156 games in his fifth big-league season. He hasn't come close to replicating his 2021 season, in which he led the league in home runs (48), on-base percentage (.401), slugging percentage (.601), OPS (1.002), total bases (363) and runs scored (123). Guerrero still has a strong fantasy floor in a great hitting environment and in a great lineup, but his 2021 season should be considered an outlier at this point.
