As the Toronto Blue Jays kicked off the 2025 MLB season, they found themselves struggling with a 13-16 record amidst a significant offensive slump and a bullpen ranked 17th in ERA at 3.90. However, optimism surged after a thrilling walk-off victory against the Boston Red Sox, thanks to Alejandro Kirk's game-winning hit, lifting their record to 14-16.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. played a pivotal role, scoring two runs and delivering key performances, including scoring the decisive run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Despite his slightly lower-than-usual batting average of .271 and OPS of .779, Guerrero's contributions are vital as the team aims to improve from third place in the AL East.
