Breaking News: Toronto Maple key player Guerrero Jr. terminate contract deal of $172 .8 million the decision comes as a surprise to the……….. more details ⬇️
Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been the focus of intense contract discussions as he enters the 2025 MLB season on a one-year, $28.5 million deal. The agreement, which avoided arbitration, marks the third-highest salary ever for an arbitration-eligible player. However, the bigger story revolves around his long-term future with the franchise.
Guerrero Jr., who posted an impressive 165 Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) and a .940 On-Base Plus Slugging (OPS) in 2024, is set to become a free agent after the 2025 season. Given his elite talent, the Blue Jays are under pressure to lock him into a long-term deal before he hits the open market. Reports indicate that Guerrero is seeking a contract in the range of $400 million to $500 million, inspired by Juan Soto’s historic $765 million deal. The Blue Jays, however, have reportedly offered a deal closer to $340 million.
Guerrero Jr. is not just a key player for the Blue Jays on the field but also a major fan favorite, especially given his Canadian citizenship. Losing him would be a significant blow to the franchise, both in terms of competitiveness and fan engagement.
As negotiations continue, speculation is mounting on whether the Blue Jays can meet Guerrero’s demands or risk losing him to another team in free agency. With the 2025 season underway, all eyes will be on Toronto’s front office to see if they can secure the long-term future of one of baseball’s brightest stars.
Stay tuned for further updates as this high-stakes contract saga unfolds.
