While the Blue Jays have been involved in pursuits of a number of major players this winter ranging from to Corbin Burnes to Roki Sasaki, the number one question hanging over the club's head this offseason is the same one that's been at the forefront of fans' minds for years now: will the Blue Jays be able to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before he reaches free agency?
Guerrero has made clear that he set a deadline for negotiations of the first full day of Spring Training with the club's front office. For the Blue Jays, the first full-squad workout is February 18, almost exactly a month away.
According to Guerrero, the Jays have offered him a deal in the vicinity of $340MM, and that this offer came prior to Soto signing with the Mets on a record-shattering $765MM deal last month.
Reports have suggested that Guerrero's asking price is believed to be above $400MM and potentially close to half a billion dollars. That's no insignificant difference.
