A controversial, "how dare you suggest that" method, Vladimir Guerrero could step up after the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays World Series loss.

The Blue Jays line-up was not at full gallop during the 2025 World Series because of Bo Bichette's ongoing knee injury. Bichette hit well, but was a baserunning liability, and was removed from two extra inning game losses in which Bichette did what he was supposed to do, hit, but would twice be replaced for a pinch runner who would then not score, but the damage was done as the innings progressed and Bo's spot in the line-up would come around again, with Bo no longer in the game.

This is where Vladimir Guererro comes into play. Professional Sports are a business, but winning Championships does not always align with a ballplayers business. If Bo Bichette re-signs with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Blue Jays might just have have their own mini dynasty for the next few years. However, Vladimir's contract has probably made signing Bo Bichette to a long term deal mission impossible.

Would Vladimir Guerrero muster together a process in which George Springer extends his contract for an extra year or two, Bo Bichette signs a decent length contract, and in exchange Vladimir gives back some of his contract to make it happen? 

The question that an outsider such as myself can ask, that an insider would never dare ask, would Vladimir Guerrero be willing to lower his overall deal by 25 million up to 100 million dollars, if the money went towards re-signing Bo Bichette? 

When Vladimir Guerrero hit a momentum erupting double in the bottom of the 1lth inning with the Blue Jays down by one run in game 7 of the World Series, Bo Bichette was no longer in the game, and while a good bunt put Vladimir at third with one out, it created a game ending double play scenario after the next batter was walked. With Bo in the line-up, there is no bunt, and the outcome of the game might have been different.

Going forward, Does Vlad want to stoicly try and win World Series Rings, at his present salary,  but perhaps come up short year after year without his hitting mate, Bo Bichette, or, would Vlad be willing to parse out some of his contract to bring back a key player the Blue Jays most likely need for future World Series runs?
