VIDEO SIGN OUT
"I just don't see him as a major league player," Blue Jays general manager Atkins told SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio last week."He's 19. He's accomplished everything he can as an offensive player and there are so many opportunities for him defensively and what he can do to really maximize the power and strengths that he has.
Guerrero Jr., who will turn 20 on March 16, isn’t expected to make his MLB debut until mid-April, allowing the Blue Jays to gain an extra year of team control, taking him through 2025. Atkins, though, has stated that there's no firm timetable for his debut.
