The Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are finally in the last 24 hours before the contract extension as deadline as the first Spring Training practice takes place tomorrow.
Guerrero has been counting down the days on his Instagram as he has clearly stated that once Spring Training begins, he will no longer be willing to discuss an extension with the Blue Jays.
A late Monday deadline looms over the Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as they try to hammer out a long-term contract extension that will keep the All-Star first baseman from free agency in the fall. -Davidi
The Blue Jays and Guerrero have been going back and fourth all off-season over a contract extension but the closest they have gotten to a deal so far was a $340 million contract that Guerrero rejected at the start of the winter.
The primary gap between the camps, as it has been since they first discussed a long-term deal after Guerrero's MVP runner-up campaign of 2021, is how to value the 26-year-old. -Davidi
If the Blue Jays do end up closing a deal it will go down as the largest deal in Blue Jays history and one of the largest in MLB history but if they cannot come to an agreement, he will entering free agency next off-season.
Today is the last day for the Blue Jays to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Any extension would be the biggest contract in Blue Jays franchise history, and one of the biggest in MLB history. If there's no extension by tonight, he'll hit free agency after the season at age 26.

Toronto could end up letting Guerrero walk which would give them plenty of more money to sign other talented players next off-season but just like this winter, just because they have the money does not mean they will be able to sign these players.
All of which makes this negotiation one of the most fateful in franchise history, with the coming fork in the road leading either toward stability through the biggest contract the Blue Jays have ever handed out, or directional uncertainty for a roster that can be easily unraveled if 2025 goes awry. -Davidi
Today might go down as one of the biggest days in Blue Jays franchise history since so much is on the line right now.
