The Toronto Blue Jays haven’t given up on signing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a contract extension.
The two sides failed to reach a deal before spring training, an impasse that initially made it seem like Guerrero would be traded or hit free agency. However, a new update from MLB insider Hector Gomez indicates the Blue Jays still could lock up their franchise slugger.
“Source: The Blue Jays are planning to make a new offer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., which will be close to what he is looking for,” Gomez wrote Monday on the X platform. “According to the source, the Jays’ offer would be in the range of 14-15 years and $550-600 million.”

If Gomez’s report is true, Toronto might have a good shot at persuading Guerrero to stick around.
Guerrero recently told ESPN that he asked for a contract worth less than $600 million over fewer than 14 years. A subsequent report claimed Guerrero set an asking price of roughly $500 million. So, a 14-year, $600 million from the Blue Jays might be enough, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Guerrero, 26, established himself as one of baseball’s best hitters over the last six seasons. He owns a career batting average of .288 along with 160 homers and 507 RBIs.
