“Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s $500M Ambition: Could He Become the Blue Jays’ Greatest Legend?”
That the celebrated slugger has found his forever home in Toronto is both an entirely sensible outcome and one that seemed squarely in jeopardy as negotiations dragged on. Amid a deeply disappointing campaign last summer, the Blue Jays strongly rebuffed all outside interest in Guerrero as a trade candidate, seemingly setting the stage for more serious extension talks in the offseason. But as the winter months passed and Toronto’s hot stove activity centered on other pursuits — some successful, some not — time appeared to be running out. Guerrero himself set the first day of spring training as a deadline of sorts for extension talks, putting pressure on Toronto to expedite the process or risk him starting the season with the intention of playing out the remainder of his contract and reaching free agency.
