ESPN’s Buster Olney told TSN 1050 Toronto's First Up Tuesday that the contract ask Vladimir Guerrero Jr. revealed last week was not surprising, but he also doesn’t think the Toronto Blue Jays did the best job of handling negotiations.
Guerrero told ESPN’s Enrique Rojas and Ernesto Jerez in a story posted Friday. Guerrero said he was looking for 14, 15 or even up to 20 years in an extension with the Jays.
“And look, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. It’s absolutely reasonable of the Blue Jays to blanche at those type of numbers for any player. Let alone a first baseman who, in the past, has had issues with his weight. That absolutely is reasonable.” “And yet here they are. And it’s confusing. It has not been handled well. It’s pretty clear that Vladdy, at this point, he’s set on his numbers. He’s said and I think fate is sort of determined at this point with him.”
