Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has disclosed that the latest contract extension proposal his representatives presented to the Toronto Blue Jays was significantly less than $600 million. The negotiations followed Juan Soto signing with the New York Mets for $765 million over 15 years.

\"It\'s much less than Soto. We\'re talking about many fewer millions than Soto, more than a hundred million less...It was the same number of years [as Soto\'s contract], but it didn\'t reach 600 [million]. The last number we gave them as a counteroffer didn\'t reach 600,\" Guerrero Jr. stated.

\"I know the business. I lowered the salary demands a bit, but I also lowered the number of years ... I\'m looking for 14 [years]. I would like 14, 15, even 20 if they give them to me, but doing it the right way\".

Guerrero is in the final season of his contract with the Jays.

I love that he is trying to come across as reasonable, but he still sounds ridiculous.

How is it ridiculous if multiple teams will pay him that next offseason?

He needs to put on an MVP season to come close to what he is asking for. He is not Ohtani, his numbers are not even close to Soto or Judge.
Career .863 OPS in his first 6 big league seasons. That's Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, Pete Alonso, Kris Bryant numbers.

He’s good but not comparable to Soto
