Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s self-imposed deadline for a contract extension with the Toronto Blue Jays has passed without an agreement, though he indicated he is open to new offers. Blue Jays CEO Mark Shapiro expressed optimism about a potential extension, noting that Guerrero desires to spend his entire career with the team. Guerrero seeks under $600MM for a long-term deal, while the team's best offer is estimated close to $450MM after deferred payments. Shapiro also mentioned that the perceived $50MM gap may not tell the whole story.
