The Cubs have a need on their roster and the flexibility to make this move work. They also boast some prospects that would interest the Blue Jays.

Seattle Mariners
The first team that immediately jumps to mind is Seattle. The Mariners boast one of the MLB's top starting rotations, and if they can add another impact bat, they could be in a tier to contend for a World Series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn't had the power many would like this season, but he's come alive at the plate and would be a significant upgrade in the M's lineup.

San Francisco Giants
Much like the Seattle Mariners, it feels as though the San Francisco Giants are on a continuous hunt for offense. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. could represent the big piece that the Giants have been trying to acquire via free agency for years. Not only would Guerrero Jr. be a perfect fit with the Giants, but they can also afford to give him a big contract and extend him. That will factor in negotiations if the Blue Jays decide to make changes and sell-off.

Cleveland Guardians
Although, as currently constructed, the Cleveland Guardians have both potential positions, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would play blocked. Still, when you can acquire a bat like his, you do it. The Guardians have stormed out to a lead in the AL Central, and Guerrero Jr. would immediately add to the middle of their lineup. The Blue Jays and Guardians have some familiarity in the trading department, which could be a match if the teams can get creative.

Houston Astros
It was a disastrous start to the regular season for the Houston Astros, but they've come on lately and gotten back into the postseason picture. It shows that you can't overreact to slow starts, especially not with a veteran team like the Astros. There's been a sizable hole at first base for the Astros. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would immediately represent an upgrade and a safety net if core pieces ultimately decide to test in free agency.
