Jays prez, Vladdy remain 'optimistic' about a deal
Briefly

Mark Shapiro, president of the Toronto Blue Jays, expressed optimism about extending Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s contract as his current deal nears expiration. Guerrero shares this optimism, focusing on his performance rather than contract negotiations. While there’s a noted financial gap between Guerrero's demands and the team's offer, Shapiro believes reports oversimplify the situation. Guerrero's impressive performance includes multiple All-Star selections and a strong batting record, affirming his value to the Blue Jays and enhancing the franchise's legacy.
I think we're going to sign him. I think we're going to extend him... Vlad wants to play his whole career as a Toronto Blue Jay.
I've always felt good about the whole thing... Not going to shut the door on them. I'm just going to be on the field, focusing on my teammates.
