The Toronto Blue Jays are prioritizing a long-term contract with star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is eligible for free agency after this season. General manager Ross Atkins emphasized the team's commitment to retaining Guerrero, while also noting the importance of strategic decision-making in roster building. Manager John Schneider expressed hope that Guerrero would remain with the team as they work toward securing the deal before he reports to spring training. The team has previously made significant offseason moves, including signing top players.
"We've worked extremely hard on keeping Vlad here for a long time," Toronto general manager Ross Atkins said Thursday. "The desire is strong and we will continue to do that. We will never close the door."
"Everything needs to be factored in, but it needs to be factored in historically and not reactively," Atkins said. "Being disciplined to our valuations, being disciplined to how we think about building the best possible roster, there's so many variables."
