The Toronto Blue Jays took a major bite out of the 2026 MLB free agent class when they locked up perhaps the best player due to enter the market. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 14-year, $500 million contract took him off the board for what was already looking like a weak crop of free agents.
At 26, Guerrero looked to be the best young hitter available and had the best chance of creating a massive bidding war for his services. Now teams will have to focus their attention elsewhere to improve this winter.
