🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Toronto Blue Jays First Baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Stuns Fans and the MLB World with Record-Breaking Performance — Fans Left Speechless with Major Announcement Concerning His New Journey
Toronto, ON — The Rogers Centre was electric last night, and for good reason. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Toronto Blue Jays’ star first baseman and fan-favorite slugger, delivered a performance for the ages — one that not only broke records but also set the baseball world ablaze with speculation and excitement.
In a night that will go down in Major League Baseball history, Guerrero Jr. didn’t just lead the Blue Jays to a dominant 12–3 win over the New York Yankees — he made history, and then he made headlines.
A Night to Remember
From his first at-bat, it was clear something special was happening. Guerrero crushed a 448-foot home run in the first inning, setting the tone for the night. But he wasn’t done.
By the end of the night, Guerrero had gone 5-for-5 with three home runs, two doubles, and a jaw-dropping 10 RBIs — the most ever in a single game by a Blue Jays player. This performance tied the MLB record for most RBIs in a game and marked his first career three-home-run game.
“It felt like every time he stepped up to the plate, the ball was leaving the yard,” said Jays manager John Schneider. “He was locked in like I’ve never seen before.”
With this game, Guerrero not only boosted his season home run total to 43, but also surged to the top of the AL MVP conversation, alongside names like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.
Social media exploded almost immediately, with fans, analysts, and fellow players all chiming in on what many are calling the greatest single-game performance of the season.

But just when it seemed like the night had peaked, Guerrero Jr. stepped in front of the microphone — and dropped a bombshell that caught even his teammates off guard.
The Shocking Post-Game Announcement
With the stadium still buzzing and national media packed into the press room, Guerrero Jr., flanked by Blue Jays executives, made a stunning personal announcement:
“I’ve always said Toronto is home — but now, it’s official. I’m beyond proud to announce I’ve signed a long-term contract extension with the Blue Jays. I’m staying in this city, with these fans, for a long, long time.”
The deal? Reportedly a 10-year, $300 million contract, making it the largest in Blue Jays franchise history and one of the biggest contracts ever awarded to a position player in the MLB.
Guerrero, 26, appeared emotional as he made the announcement, thanking fans, teammates, and his family — particularly his father, Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr.
“My dad showed me what greatness looks like,” he said. “Now it’s my turn to build something just as special — right here in Toronto.”
Teammates React with Emotion
The locker room was buzzing with joy and support after Guerrero’s announcement. Fellow slugger Bo Bichette, who has been with Guerrero since their minor league days, was one of the first to react:
“Vlad means everything to this team. He’s not just a leader — he’s the engine. Knowing he’s here to stay? That’s huge.”
Veteran pitcher Kevin Gausman added: “He could’ve gone anywhere, waited for free agency, but he chose us. That says everything you need to know about the kind of person he is.”
What This Means for the Blue Jays
The timing of the deal couldn’t be more critical. With the Blue Jays in the thick of a tight playoff race and fans demanding a World Series-caliber team, securing Guerrero long-term sends a strong message: Toronto is all in.
Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins called the extension a “franchise-defining moment.”
“Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not only one of the best hitters in baseball — he’s the face of our future,” said Atkins. “And we’re building that future around him.”
The news also sparked immediate reactions across MLB front offices, with analysts noting that the extension could influence contract negotiations for other young stars in the league.
Fans Overjoyed
As expected, Blue Jays Nation erupted in celebration. Outside the Rogers Centre, fans gathered late into the night, waving flags, wearing Guerrero jerseys, and chanting “Vladdy! Vladdy!” in unison.
“We love him. He loves us. This is where he belongs.”

Legacy in the Making
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has already made a name for himself with his power, his passion, and his presence — but with this record-breaking night and long-term commitment, he’s now cementing a legacy.
From his breakout 2021 season to becoming an All-Star regular and Home Run Derby champ, Guerrero’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Now, with a historic contract and a franchise behind him, the sky’s the limit.
As one MLB broadcaster put it during last night’s game:
“If you don’t believe in the Blue Jays now, you haven’t been watching Vladimir Guerrero Jr.”
The Toronto Blue Jays are flying high, and their brightest star just told the world he’s not going anywhere. Buckle up, baseball fans — this is just the beginning.
