Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Extension Remains In Play For Toronto
2 hours agoAccording to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Blue Jays are continuing to pursue a contract extension for their first baseman, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Rosenthal noted that the Blue Jays have several contracts to take care of including Guerrero's extension, Bo Bichette's potential extension, and even the possibility of signing free agent Alex Bregman. While it will be difficult to accomplish all three of these tasks, Rosenthal noted that all three objectives remain "in play." Guerrero is projected to earn near $30 million in his final year of arbitration and will hit free agency at age 27. Given the massive contract Juan Soto earned this offseason, Guerrero could be store for a massive payday. The first baseman finished second in AL MVP in 2021 and is coming off another excellent campaign where he posted a .323/.396/.544 line with 30 home runs and 103 RBI.
