Discussing Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Struggles and Potential Solutions Scott and Adam discussed the recent poor performance of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. And the Toronto Blue Jays. They attributed Vladimir's struggles to the pressure and high expectations associated with being a long-term veteran and key player of the team. They suggested that a change of scenery, possibly with a trade to a team like the Philadelphia Phillies, could be beneficial for Vladimir's career. They also considered the idea of bringing in left-handed hitters to balance the lineup and relieve some of the pressure on Vladimir.
Assessing Blue Jays Team Strategy and Rebuilding Adam and Scott voiced their concerns about the current state of the Blue Jays team. Adam suggested that the team should undergo a rebuild for a more sustainable future, whereas Scott acknowledged the difficulty of such a decision due to the team's upcoming schedule.
