Vladimir Guerrero Jr. turned down Blue Jays extension offer of more than $500 million (with deferrals): Report
Vladimir Guerrero Junior rejected half a billion dollars* from Toronto Blue Jays. Perhaps you can guess what this star means at this stage.
according to Ken Rosental SportsGuerrero rejected an extension of more than $ 500 million from Blue Jays, but with enough money postponed to reduce the current value to between 400 million dollars and 450 million dollars. According to what was reported, Guerro indicated that he was ready to accept the delay, but only if the value of the contract was still 500 million dollars.
This contract is likely that Guerrero will exceed the total of $ 700 million with Los Angeles, which is calculated by about $ 460 million of today’s funds upon signing.
However, it could have been less than Juan Soto Unbelievable 15 years, 765 million dollars dealAnd, which does not contain any delayed money and can have a value of Northern 800 million dollars in reality if some moving stairs are met.
Guerrero closed the contract talks with Blue Jays at the beginning of the spring training, a final date that is self -imposed to close the first al -Qaeda man in the season before hitting what is sure that he is a profitable free agency. The 25 -year -old, 26, on Sunday, Tell ESPN last week He was negotiating for the length of the contract similar to the Soto deal, but not for the same money.
“It is much less than Soto. We are talking about millions less than Soto, more than a hundred million … It was the same number of years [as Soto’s contract]But it did not arrive [$600 million]. Guerro said that the last number we presented to them as a counter -power did not reach 600.
“I know the work. I have reduced the salary demands a little, but I also reduced the number of years … I am looking for 14 years [years]. I would like 14, 15, even 20 if they give them, but do so in the right way. “
Guerrero is the free agent in the next winter category, along with the Chicago team player as Cubs Kyle Taker and San Diego Padres, starting with the Dylan jug.
Simply put, Guerrero was a fixed star like some other players. The exit from OPS+, which is normalized for Park and Era, was four of his six seasons in Toronto worse than the 142 professional Soto brand, which was his rising year. The same with Harun Jadis, who has not been less than 143 since his first season. Mike Troot was considered rare in his career because he was in 132 in 2023.
However, Guerrero still has one of the highest offensive ceilings in the baseball game and will strike a free agency at the same age of Soto, and there is nothing less important than the age of the Free Agency.
The postponed money has become the criterion for the huge contracts in MLB, with a predecessor in Bobby Bonella, a pioneer in Max Sherrazer and ideal in Ohtiani, who took the idea to an excessive degree in postponing 97 % of the money in the deal deal. The difference loves her because she keeps her CBT salaries, allowing them to avoid luxury tax payments, and players often do not mind this because they still get the money they request and are often compensated through the signature reward.
The evaders used the system over and over again on a season outside, but doing that other difference. This will continue until MLB sees a problem with it.
