“Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s $500M Ambition: Could He Become the Blue Jays’ Greatest Legend?”
It seems unlikely that Guerrero would’ve even sniffed $500 million had the two sides pursued an extension as recently as October. But Soto’s deal with the Mets altered the scope of what a player in Guerrero’s position viewed as a realistic target, especially before reaching the open market. Compared to Soto, Guerrero’s track record — which has featured MVP-caliber highs but also some frustratingly mediocre lows — is far less pristine, and he boasts not even a fraction of Soto’s epic résumé of postseason excellence. That said, it’s entirely reasonable for Guerrero to have viewed Soto as a peer and a player whose value is at least proximal.
