Ben Nicholson-Smith announces brutal update regarding the Vladimir Guerrero Jr contract negotiations

As the Blue Jays have yet to announce any progress in the negotiations with Guerrero, many insiders and executives believe that Toronto might look into trading him if they are presented with a good enough offer.

During the 2024 season, Guerrero stated that he wants to stay in Toronto for his entire career and is ready to sign a contract extension but also mentioned that he understands that it is a business and things don't always go according to plan.

During a recent interview on Sportsnet 590, insider Ben Nicholson-Smith stated that as things continue to drag on in the negotiations, Guerrero might be starting to change his mind on if he wants to return to Toronto.

Most fans and insiders saw this coming since Guerrero was so quick to say he wants to stay but as the team takes more and more time to figure out if they want him back, it is normal that he is starting to lose faith and feel unwanted.

If Atkins ends up messing up this entire situation with Guerrero, not only will fans totally check out and stop attending games but he will also likely end up losing his job since a repeat of the 2024 season will end up costing the team a lot of money.

The clear decision is to keep Guerrero since he is their best player and locking him down would help the team land big time free agents this winter but for some reason, the front office seems to think differently.
