⚾ BREAKING NEWS: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Vows Loyalty to Toronto Blue Jays Amid Contract Rumors
Toronto, ON — In an announcement that will delight Blue Jays fans across Canada and beyond, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has publicly vowed to remain loyal and committed to the Toronto Blue Jays, putting to rest months of swirling speculation regarding his future with the franchise.
Speaking to reporters after the Blue Jays’ home win last night at Rogers Centre, Guerrero made a passionate and heartfelt declaration:
“Toronto is home. This city, these fans, this jersey — they’ve always had my heart. I’m not going anywhere.”
The statement comes just weeks after reports suggested several major-market MLB teams had been preparing to make aggressive offers for Guerrero in the upcoming offseason. But the 26-year-old slugger made it clear that his loyalty lies in Toronto, and his focus is on bringing a World Series championship north of the border.
🔄 Contract Extension in the Works?
According to sources close to the organization, the Blue Jays’ front office and Guerrero’s representatives are in advanced talks on a long-term extension, potentially one of the largest in franchise history. Early estimates suggest a deal could surpass $300 million over 10 years, cementing Guerrero as the face of the franchise for the next decade.
Team president Mark Shapiro and general manager Ross Atkins are said to be fully committed to keeping Vlad Jr. in Toronto, citing his role not only as a cornerstone player but also as a cultural leader within the clubhouse.
“Vladimir isn’t just a superstar — he’s the heart of this team,” said Atkins. “We’re doing everything we can to keep him here long-term.”
🔥 A Career Worth Committing To
Since debuting with the Blue Jays in 2019, Guerrero Jr. has grown into one of the game’s premier hitters. He was the runner-up in the 2021 AL MVP race, a multiple-time All-Star, and the winner of the 2023 Home Run Derby. In the current 2025 season, he’s batting .312 with 34 home runs and 102 RBIs, anchoring the Jays’ offense during a tightly contested AL East race.
His connection with fans, both in Toronto and across Canada, is unmatched. From his high-energy celebrations to his dedication to community outreach, Guerrero has become a symbol of the Blue Jays’ identity.
