Vladimir Guerrero Jr. knows what he and the Blue Jays have to do.
Toronto's $500MM man made a definitive statement after clinching a playoff spot, following their victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
While the Blue Jays certainly accomplished one of their goals, there is an unspoken agreement in the clubhouse - nay an expectation - that their work is not over. Vladdy
concurs.
concurs.
Ticket = PUNCHED! We're going to the Postseason!
"The job is not finished. We want to win the division."
Vlad's words matter. He is the face of the franchise, the highest paid player, and team leader. When he speaks, people listen, whether you're Joey Loperfido or Max Scherzzer.
The Blue Jays have the benefit of an of-day on Monday, and can rest their potential hangovers and recover in time for Tuesday.
It's time for the New era Blue Jays to win a post season game
With the Jays setting their sites on the division crown, that means they will also start working towards something they haven't accomplished in 10 years. Something Vladdy or Bo Bichette have never experienced: a playoff victory.
While they may be in the driver's seat, they can't afford to take their off the gas pedal; not yet anyways.
The Blue Jays magic number to win the division is four. It could come as early as Wednesday or as late as the last day of the season.
Like Vladdy said, they're not finished yet.
