The Toronto Blue Jays still seem to be locked in on trying to keep Vladimir Guerrero Jr in Toronto and the latest update has them making him a $600 million offer.
While there has been a ton of reports regarding the Guerrero negotiations this winter, the one clear factor is that Guerrero is looking for a massive contract for next year which he has confirmed multiple times.
MLB insider states the Blue Jays are set to make Vladimir Guerrero Jr a $600 million offer
When Guerrero last spoke to the media, he stated that both him and the Blue Jays were too far apart of a final number for his contract which is why he decided to reject it.
Information was also leaked a couple weeks ago that the Blue Jays made Guerrero an offer of around $500 million with a lot of deferred money which made the present day value between $400-$450 million which he thought was too low.
That was leaked shortly after New York Post's Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman reported that the Blue Jays offered Guerrero Jr. $500 million with heavy deferrals that brought the present-day value to around $400 million to $450 million. -Delaney
MLB insider Hector Gomez now stated that the Blue Jays are apparently getting ready to make a new offer to Guerrero which would be around 14-15 years in length while being worth between $550- $600 million.
According to Héctor Gómez, the Blue Jays are planning to offer Guerrero Jr. a 14-15 year deal worth $550-$600 million. Whether or not this is true, I'm sure we'll find out in due time. -Delaney
The Blue Jays seem ready to offer him more money because they are possibly starting to realize that Guerrero is not only their best player but also the face of the franchise which is why losing him would tremendously hurt them.
Either way, the Blue Jays really need to find a way to get this contract done as Guerrero Jr.'s importance isn't just on the field. He's the face of the franchise and losing him in free agency or at the trade deadline signals the start of a rebuild. -Delaney
If Guerrero and the Blue Jays end up agreeing to a contract of this size, he would become the third highest paid player in the MLB.
