The Toronto Blue Jays would like to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a contract extension before he reports to spring training. Guerrero will otherwise become a free agent at the end of the 2025 season. Guerrero has said he will not negotiate a contract once he reports.
\"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.\"
Guerrero has a $28.5 million salary and would be among the top free agents next fall.
Guerrero hit .323 with 30 home runs and 103 RBIs last season, finishing sixth in American League MVP voting.
