BREAKING: Toronto Blue Jay Provides Promising Update on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. if He definitely Sign Five years Contract to Become highest Pay Player in Blue Jay History…..

The Toronto Blue Jays have provided a major update that has fans buzzing: talks with franchise cornerstone Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are “progressing well,” and a deal could be announced as early as next week. According to team sources, the proposed contract would be a five-year agreement and would make Guerrero Jr. the highest-paid player in Blue Jays history.

“We’re optimistic,” said a front office executive late Friday. “Both sides want to make this happen — we’re very close.”

The Numbers (So Far)

While details remain under wraps, league insiders estimate the deal will be worth between $185 million and $210 million over five years, depending on incentives and signing bonuses. This would put the average annual value (AAV) at roughly $37 to $42 million per season — a figure that surpasses all current and past Jays players, including George Springer’s previous record-setting deal (6 years, $150 million in 2021).

If completed, Guerrero Jr. would also become one of the top-five highest-paid players in MLB based on AAV.

Why a Five-Year Deal?

A five-year deal is seen as a strategic compromise between the Jays and Guerrero Jr.’s camp. For Toronto, it locks down their biggest star through his prime years. For Guerrero Jr., it provides financial security now, while preserving his ability to re-enter free agency before age 32, when he could still land another long-term mega deal.

“It’s a win-win,” said one AL executive. “Vladdy gets paid now, and still has flexibility later. The Jays keep their guy — and their fans.”

A Shift in Tone

This update marks a dramatic shift from previous months, when talks between Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays were reported to be “quiet” or “stalled.” However, insiders now say the tone of negotiations has turned “very positive,” with Guerrero Jr. expressing strong interest in staying in Toronto long-term — especially with the team investing heavily in young talent and the Rogers Centre renovation project nearing completion.

A Face of the Franchise

Since debuting in 2019, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has emerged as the face of the Blue Jays — both on and off the field. The three-time All-Star has delivered consistent power, fan engagement, and leadership, becoming one of the most marketable names in baseball.

This potential deal would not only reward his on-field performance but also symbolize the Blue Jays’ commitment to contending now and building a championship core around him.

Fan Reaction: Excitement and Relief

Social media exploded with speculation after the update dropped Friday afternoon. Fans who feared Guerrero Jr. might test free agency after 2025 are now hopeful that a deal is imminent.

“If this happens, it’s the best news since Bautista’s bat flip,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).

What’s Next?

According to sources, final negotiations are expected to continue through the weekend, with a formal announcement possible within the next 5–7 days. Pending a physical and legal review, Guerrero Jr. could put pen to paper before the Blue Jays’ next homestand.

Until then, fans are holding their breath — but this latest update has made one thing clear: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. may be staying in Toronto for the long haul.
