Toronto Blue Jays predicted to extend All-Star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with $577 million deal this week
The Toronto Blue Jays failed to come to terms on an extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. this offseason.
However, that does not mean a deal will not be reached at some point.
However, team president Mark Shapiro is confident the two sides will work out an extension.
"I think we're going to sign him. I think we're going to extend him," Shapiro told reporters, according to The Athletic.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden predicted that Shapiro's hope would become a reality.
He predicted the Blue Jays would agree to a blockbuster extension with Guerrero, keeping him in Toronto for the next 15 years.
He predicted the deal would be valued at $577 million and that the two sides would agree "on the eve of Opening Day - or soon after."
Guerrero is a four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger and Gold Glover. He is rightfully demanding to be one of the highest-paid players in the league.
An extension may work out best for all parties involved. Guerrero has already noted that he wants to finish his career in Toronto, and it's now on the Blue Jays to make it happen.
