You sign that guy long term.
The Jays front office has done absolutely nothing to give him support in the lineup over the last two seasons. If they can get at least one bat to put in the cleanup spot, I expect he’ll dominate like he did in 2021. He went from having Teo, Semien, and Gurriel around him to Brandon Belt last year and Justin Turner this season. It’s a total joke. The team has wasted years of Guerrero’s prime with their dumbass “run prevention” mindset. You can’t compete in the AL East when you try to win every game 4-3.
When he struggles, it’s because he tries to do too much - he looks to hit 6 run homers. If he can have more support in the lineup, it will relieve some of the burden off of his shoulders.

That's all fair and ultimately I'd like him re-signed but we should still be careful in that deal. It was more these types of comments I was talking about that always come up when a player is hot.
