TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays are locking up slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a 14-year extension worth US$500 million.
The team confirmed the deal in a statement today after reports surfaced early Monday that the two sides had agreed to a deal.
The four-time all-star has been a consistent offensive anchor for the team since making his big-league debut with the Blue Jays in 2019.
Guerrero finished second in American League MVP voting in 2021 and was sixth in last year’s vote.

The 26-year-old first baseman hit .323 last season with 30 homers and 103 RBIs.
The extension, which begins next season, is the largest contract in team history, dwarfing the six-year, $150-million deal that outfielder George Springer signed as a free agent in 2021.
More coming.
