"The 2025 World Series has been a showcase to the world of just how good V ladimir Guerrero Jr. is and why he was worth every penny of that mega $500 million contract - which technically doesn't kick in until next season. What Guerrero Jr. has done this postseason is nothing short of spectacular and right from Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees,"
"At 22-years-old, Guerrero had 143 games under his belt in the big leagues going into the year and was looking for his first real break out season. Spoiler alert, he broke out in a big way. Guerrero absolutely mashed all year long. In 161 games he hit 48 home runs and slashed .311/.401/.601 with an OPS of 1.002. He led the league in home runs, OBP, SLG, OPS and runs scored (123)."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered an exceptional 2025 postseason, leading the Blue Jays from Game 1 of the ALDS through the World Series and putting the team within one win of a title. Guerrero's postseason effort has been framed as a vindication ahead of a massive $500 million contract that begins next season. The 2021 season marked Guerrero's breakout, when he posted 48 home runs, a .311/.401/.601 slash line and a 1.002 OPS, yet finished second in MVP voting to Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani's two-way contributions, including a 9.0 bWAR while pitching, gave him the edge in that race.
