Slugger Guerrero and Toronto Blue Jays celebrate long-term contract extension
TORONTO — Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. says he’s always going to remember this day.
Friends, family, teammates and members of the team’s front office joined him at Rogers Centre for a celebratory news conference after he signed a 14-year contract extension worth US$500 million.
News that the two sides had agreed to a deal first broke a week ago. The Blue Jays confirmed the signing last Wednesday when the team was on the road.
Guerrero is a homegrown face of the franchise who has been one of the sport’s more impactful players since making his big-league debut in 2019.
