In a monumental moment for both the Toronto Blue Jays and their devoted fanbase, superstar first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has reportedly rejected a jaw-dropping $231.9 million offer from the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, choosing instead to remain committed to Toronto in what sources are calling a “legacy over luxury” decision.

💥 The Offer

According to multiple league insiders, the Orioles—currently a top contender in the AL East—extended an 8-year, $231.9 million contract offer to Guerrero Jr., making him one of the highest-paid players in the league had he accepted.

The proposed deal included:

• Full no-trade clause

• Performance bonuses and escalators based on postseason performance

• Early opt-out options (after Year 4)

But Guerrero Jr. reportedly never seriously entertained the offer.

🇨🇦 Vlad’s Loyalty to Canada

In a brief but emotional statement released by his agent and later confirmed via Guerrero Jr.’s personal Instagram, the 26-year-old slugger declared:

“Toronto is my baseball home. I’ve grown up here, and I want to win here. I’ve heard the noise, I’ve seen the numbers. But loyalty means something to me. We’re building something real in this city.”

Guerrero Jr. also reportedly told Blue Jays front office executives that he has “unfinished business” and is “all-in on bringing a championship to Canada.”

🔊 Front Office Reacts

Blue Jays President Mark Shapiro reacted to the news in a joint press conference with GM Ross Atkins:

“We’re beyond thrilled—and frankly, humbled—that Vlad chose to stay. He’s more than a franchise player. He’s the heart of this team.”

Negotiations are now said to be underway for a long-term extension with the Blue Jays, with a possible 10-year deal being discussed, keeping Guerrero Jr. in Toronto through his prime.
