No offence as you guys know way more than me, but why would anyone want Fatty Guerrero? He doesn't run hard around the bases and he takes nights off. Santander is obviously not better, in fact that contract will be bad in 2 years, but Fatty is overrated. He will melt under the lights in the US.

When Vlad isn't hitting grounders, he's a valuable bat.
The guy hits a ton of line drives.

I agree that he comes with risk. He's not in the best physical condition and if his bat doesn't produce, he doesn't have any value as a defender or base runner.

He's not the type of player that I would want to invest 500M into.
Someone will pay a lot for him though.
While I agree with most of what you said here, he's a gold glover. So he wouldn't be totally useless.

I'm not sure he's a 500m player neither, but we'll just have to wait and see what that next contract looks like.

He's fat and lazy. He doesn't try all the time.

Educate me as I haven't followed beisbol in a minute
Who is this guy and should we be optimistic?

He hit 44 homers and 102 RBI last season on a strong Orioles team. He had a on base plus slugging ( ops) of .814 and a OBP (on base percentage)of .308. Very good offensive production and statistics

Downside, he just turned 30 already back in October. Don’t expect him to steal many bases, he lacks the speed for it. He’s a below average defensively right outfielder.

Upside: he’s a slugger that can hit for both power and contact. In the last three years, he drew 55-58 walks per season. He gets on bases with regularity.

He hit 33 homers and 89 RBI in 2022 and 28 homers and 95 RBI in 2023.

His OPS in 2022 (.773)
His OBP in 2022: (.318)

His OPS in 2023: (. 797)
His OPS in 2023: (.325)

Jays just added another big bat.

Vlad/bo/santander will be the heart of the batting order. Springer the lead off hitter. We need another big bat though. Bregman?
