The potential suitors for Guerrero’s talents are numerous, yet identifying the ideal fit remains complex. The New York Mets, having recently secured Juan Soto with a record-setting 15-year, $765 million contract, might be contenders, especially if they choose not to retain Pete Alonso, who has an opt-out clause after the 2025 season. citeturn0news9 However, their financial commitments and roster composition could influence their pursuit of Guerrero.

The New York Yankees, traditionally aggressive in the free-agent market, could also emerge as a potential destination. Their interest may hinge on the performance of existing players and their financial flexibility in the upcoming seasons. Notably, the Yankees recently acquired Cody Bellinger to bolster their lineup, indicating a strategic approach to roster enhancement. cite turn0news11
