This season, the 25-year-old is slashing .279/.374/.383, with four home runs, 22 RBIs, one stolen base, and 21 runs scored across 48 games played this season.

In Cleveland, Guerrero could inject immediate power into the Guardians' lineup, providing a much-needed offensive boost as they strive to maintain their position atop the AL Central.

With Josh Naylor holding down first base, Guerrero's presence could offer versatility and a consistent DH option, enhancing their playoff aspirations.

Cleveland's progressive approach to player development and a young, talented roster could provide Guerrero with ample opportunities to thrive and further establish himself as one of baseball's premier sluggers.

In San Francisco, Guerrero could become the cornerstone of the Giants' resurgence. His addition would fill a critical void in their lineup, especially with recent injuries impacting key players.

The Giants' knack for revitalizing careers, combined with the dynamic atmosphere of Oracle Park and experienced leadership, presents an enticing opportunity for Guerrero to unleash his full potential.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners, leading the AL West, offer Guerrero a chance to be at the forefront of a franchise on the rise.

His potent bat could address their offensive struggles, complementing their strong pitching staff and enhancing their playoff chances.

Of course, it's all pure speculation at this point whether Guerrero Jr. will get dealt, however, it does appear to be a real possibility if the Blue Jays keep struggling, as noted by multiple insiders.
