The Toronto Blue Jays' latest offer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was 'not even close' to what he was hoping for in a contract extension.
The Toronto Blue Jays might have come up on the short end of the Juan Soto sweepstakes. But their pursuit of the star outfielder, who ultimately signed a record 16-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, produced one big winner: Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.Guerrero, who turns 26 in March, is a year away from hitting the free agent market at the same age as Soto — and with a similar resumé of success.
So far, according to Guerrero, they aren't going well.'What they offered me is not even close to what I'm looking for,' he said in an interview with Abriendo Sports, a radio outlet based in the Dominican Republic, and translated by Dominican journalist Hector Gomez on Twitter/X.The exact numbers the two sides have exchanged have yet to be reported.
