Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had one of the greatest postseasons in MLB history, but it wasn’t enough to win a title.

In this story:

The Dodgers and Blue Jays battled in the most thrilling World Series in recent memory, with the championship ultimately coming down to extra innings in Game 7.

Unfortunately for Toronto, one side winds up the loser, no matter how good the fight is, and the Blue Jays wound up on the wrong side of the budding Los Angeles dynasty.

But Toronto’s season was still something wholly special, and star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. acknowledged as much in a heartfelt note he shared on Instagram alongside some photos of the Jays’ incredible run.

Guerrero put up one of the greatest postseasons we’ve ever seen from the plate, and his bat was nearly enough to bring Toronto the title.

While they came up just short in 2025, Guerrero is signed with the Jays through 2039, and as he said, plans to be with the team for life.
