Mets pursue blockbuster trade for Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr

The New York Mets are exploring a major trade to acquire Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. This comes as the Mets have made little progress in re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso. A proposed trade would send infielders Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuña, outfielder Ryan Clifford, and pitcher Tylor Megill to Toronto. Guerrero, entering the final year of his contract, is projected to seek a $427 million extension. The Blue Jays may struggle to sign Guerrero, increasing the likelihood of a trade. The Mets could have an advantage due to their financial resources.
