"The Blue Jays not only secured a division title, but also their first AL pennant in over 30 years, marking a significant turnaround for the franchise."
"Extending Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was a must, as he is the current face of the franchise and one of the top superstars in the game."
"The 14-year, $500 million extension for Guerrero was contentious, but ultimately, Atkins managed to lock him up for life, ensuring the team's future."
Ross Atkins, general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays, faced criticism for past failures but achieved significant success in 2025. The team won the AL East division title and their first AL pennant in over 30 years. This success led to a five-year contract extension for Atkins. Key moves that contributed to this achievement included extending superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who is essential to the franchise's identity and success, despite challenges in attracting other big-name players.
