Blue Jays Predicted To Sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. To Massive $577 Million Deal..
The Toronto Blue Jays have been placed in a very weird spot, and it completely revolves around superstar infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Guerrero is entering the final season of his contract and the Blue Jays need to decide whether they will continue to try to re-sign him, trade him, or take their chances in retaining him in free agency. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden recently put together a list of predictions for the upcoming MLB season. Headlining his list of predictions was his expectation for what the Blue Jays would do with Guerrero. “The Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. agree to a 15-year, $577 million contract on the eve of opening day – or soon after,” Bowden wrote. Bowden’s prediction doesn’t seem to be the most likely outcome, considering the two sides have reportedly been around $50 million apart on a potential contract extension. Either way, the 15-year, $577 million number seems very realistic for what Guerrero could land on the open market. If the Blue Jays are willing to offer this kind of number as.
a contract extension, there’s a chance they could actually lock the superstar infielder down for the next decade and a half. But it doesn’t seem likely that Toronto offers this number. In reality, Guerrero will likely want to enter the free agent market, where he would be free to sign wherever he would like. This freedom could instigate a bidding war in the same way that Juan Soto’s free agency did. Guerrero likely won’t land a deal north of $700 million like Soto, but being an unrestricted free agent could increase his value even more.
