Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stands out as the clear leader in the Toronto Blue Jays Clubhouse.

He plays first base and has a massive 14-year contract worth $500 million starting in

2026, locking him in with the team for the long haul.

Team mates like George Springer see him as the top guy everyone looks up to.

Springer, who joined the Blue Jays before the 2021 season on a 6-year deal, recently

shared his thoughts on MLB Network Radio.

He described Guerrero as a household name and one of the top 5 players in baseball, emphasizing

how the young star commands respect without saying.

Much.

Springer noted that Guerrero often leads by example rather than words, sometimes even having

his more vocal team mates speak up for him.

Despite Guerrero being plenty loud himself, Springer enjoys translating his messages

and loves playing alongside him.

Both players had strong 2024 seasons.

Guerrero hit 0.292 with 32 home runs, made the All Star team and finished 13th an American

league most valuable player, voting.

Over seven big league years, he boasts a 0.288 batting average, 183 home runs, and five

All Star nods plus gold.

Glob and silver slugger honors.

Springer's last 0.309 with 32 homeers too.

Starting from his World Series MVP experience with Houston in 2017, as the Blue Jays chase

their first title since 1993, these two stars will be key to any playoff push.
