The Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have reached an agreement on a contract extension, according to reports.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan and The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported that the deal is worth $500 million over 14 years. He was set to become a free agent following the 2025 season. Guerrero’s contract is the third-largest contract in MLB history, behind Juan Soto’s 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets and Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Passan. The contract also is reportedly a no-deferral deal, which means Guerrero is expected to be paid out in full during the term of the contract without any portion of the salary being pushed back for a later time.
Guerrero was considered one of the top international prospects in his class and originally signed with the team in 2015 for $3.9 million.
He’s won a Gold Glove and two Silver Slugger Awards during his career.
He’s also been named an All-Star four times, was the All-Star Game MVP in 2021 and won the Home Run Derby in 2023.
Through Sunday, Guerrero has a .288 career batting average with 478 runs, 511 RBIs and 160 home runs.
