In the first home game of the season on April 4th, Mets fans will be out in full force to support their team against the Toronto Blue Jays. While stars like Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo will certainly get their cheers, one visiting player is expected to get some of the biggest applause: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Despite never playing for the Mets, Guerrero is a star and a potential free agent soon. Mets fans are likely showing him some love to make him feel what it could be like to play in Queens. After all, it’s not every day a visiting player gets such a warm reception, but Mets fans could be hoping this gesture might make Guerrero think twice about where he wants to play in the future.

If Guerrero gets more cheers than Alonso, that could stir up some buzz, especially since Alonso has had a rough season before and many Mets fans are curious if they’ll be seeing a new first baseman next year. The possibility of a swap between Alonso and Guerrero isn’t out of the question. And with the Blue Jays having tried to lock down Guerrero to a long-term deal, Mets fans might just give him the push he needs to consider Queens as his future home.
