“Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s $500M Ambition: Could He Become the Blue Jays’ Greatest Legend?”

Soto is just five months older than Guerrero, and the two inked their first professional contracts as part of the same international signing class in 2015. Guerrero received a $3.9 million bonus from the Blue Jays, and Soto garnered $1.5 million from the Nationals — heavy investments relative to the market they occupied at the time. They both raced to the big leagues, proving their generational offensive prowess at different stages along the way. Soto then bounced among three franchises before reaching free agency and signing long-term with the New York Mets. Guerrero stayed entrenched with the only organization he has ever known and has now opted to keep it that way for the remainder of his career.
