Blue Jays Make New Offer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as Contract Talks Stall

Despite a recent proposal, a significant gap remains in negotiations, leaving Guerrero's future with Toronto uncertain as free agency looms.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a new contract offer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. within the past 24 hours, according to sources.
A substantial gap persists between Guerrero's valuation, reportedly near $600 million, and the team's offers.
Guerrero is set to become a free agent at the end of the 2025 season, with no agreement expected before then.
Both Guerrero and team President Mark Shapiro have expressed optimism about reaching a deal but acknowledge the challenges in negotiations.
The situation highlights the Blue Jays' strategic dilemma: extend Guerrero, trade him midseason, or risk losing him in free agency.
