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.
