Daulton Varsho was voted the Gold Glove winner in center field, a recognition that reflects his exceptional defensive skills during the season. His efforts were instrumental for the team, demonstrating both reliability and skill at a critical position.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a ‘finalist’ for the Silver Slugger for AL first basemen, standing out with a .940 OPS against competitors like Josh Naylor (.767) and Carlos Santana (.748), which underscores his powerful batting capabilities and consistency at the plate.
The Jays face significant decisions in the off-season, starting with hiring a new amateur scouting director, followed by potentially extending Vladimir Guerrero Jr., whose negotiation may be challenging given the trend of stars waiting until free agency for better bargaining power.
Among the prospects eligible for the Rule 5 draft, names like Phil Clarke and Chad Dallas stand out. Dallas seems likely to find a place in a major-league bullpen soon, whereas the readiness of other players remains uncertain as they transition into professional baseball.
