If there's one player we haven't really talked about lately, it's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Why? Because the Blue Jays first baseman signed his contract several months before the off-season.
So despite his hot streak, the Blue Jays didn't have to worry about him. In fact, he's probably the most stable piece of his organization as we speak.
In fact, his recent playoff runs have helped the Blue Jays player make his way into Major League Baseball's top-10 players for the 2026 season.
The Dominican was ranked 10th.

It's hard to place Junior higher than that. Maybe he could have been above Corbin Carroll, but otherwise, all the guys in the top 10 deserve to be ahead of Vladdy.
It's obviously no great surprise that Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge make up the top two. Bobby Witt Jr., Cal Raleigh, Jose Ramirez, Juan Soto, Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal, and Carroll are also ahead of Junior.
The Blue Jays, in fact, have four players in Major League Baseball's top 100.
George Springer (47), Alejandro Kirk (74), and Dylan Cease (100) are the other players who accompany the first cushion player in this annual MLB ranking.

The Dodgers have no fewer than eight players in the top 100, including six in the top 22. In addition to Ohtani at the top, they have Yoshinobu Yamamoto (13), Mookie Betts (18), Will Smith (20), Kyle Tucker (21), Freddie Freeman (22), Blake Snell (54), and Edwin Diaz (83) in the rankings.
Still, eh?
