It seems that Vladimir Guerrero Jr and the Toronto Blue Jays could be ending their relationship at the end of the year. The Dominican has rejected the latest offers, as the proposals do not satisfy him economically
Vladimir Guerrero Jr rejected a long-term contract with the Blue Jays, so the Dominican could become the most sought-after free agent. This caused great frustration among Toronto fans who have pointed to Mark Shapiro, president of the franchise, as the culprit
The Dominican baseball player finally broke his silence on everything that has been generated in recent months, giving a glimmer of hope to all those Blue Jays fans:
“I’ve always felt good about all this. I’m fine with it. I’ll just keep working really hard and also be optimistic… I won’t close the door on them… I’ll be open. But I’ll let my agents work with it. If there’s something there, they’ll keep working on it. I’ll just be on the field, focused on my teammates, my team, my game,” the first baseman said, according to sources
Toronto Blue Jays confident of reaching deal
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would be entering free agency at the end of the year, a very interesting gamble for any franchise that wants to take his services. The Blue Jays have the clock ticking to do everything possible to keep him on the team
