But for whatever reason, he is just having a down season for Toronto as the team doesn’t look like it will be making the playoffs this year, just one season after making it all the way to the World Series.We’ll see what the Blue Jays end up doing ahead of the MLB trade deadline on August 3, but the Blue Jays figure to be sellers rather than buyers this season, as the playoffs just don’t seem to be in the cards for Toronto this season.Like HEAVY’s content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Leaves Blue Jays Game With Injury appeared first on HEAVY.
