THE. FRANCHISE.
OFFICIAL: We’ve agreed to terms with 4x All-Star, 2x Silver Slugger, 2x All-MLB First Team Member, 2x Tip O'Neill Award Winner, Hank Aaron Award Winner, and Gold Glover Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a 14-year contract extension!
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. says that one of the hardest parts of this process was when his daughter asked if they would be staying in Toronto.
“I’ve never seen this organization as an organization. This is family for me. This team, this city, these fans… This is family.” #BlueJays
Maybe you never liked the idea of the Blue Jays giving Vladdy 14 years and $500+M, but 10 games to start a season shouldn't change anyone's mind who was on board with it.
News: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension that starts in 2026 and includes no deferrals. More details on a deal expected to make Vlad a Blue Jay for life, free and unlocked at ESPN: https://t.co/QMbaQeqtlT
John Schneider on Tyler O'Neill homering on an MLB-record 6th consecutive Opening Day:
“That’s crazy. It’s home and road, Canada and US. You tip your hat, man. He likes Opening Day. I’m glad tomorrow’s not Opening Day.” #BlueJays
