It’s a sad day for Blue Jays fans as their superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. might leave Toronto for good. Guerrero gave the franchise a deadline to match his needs for a possible extension. The franchise offered him $340 million, almost $100 million short of Vladdy’s demands.

After being a Blue Jay for his entire career, the All-Star is ready to test the free-agent waters after the 2025 season. Blue Jays fans love Guerrero and are disheartened with the team for failing to reach a contract extension.

Toronto had time to strike a deal, but the team has refrained from going all out and throwing in that extra $100 million. MLB insider Jeff Passan was one of the first to report the news on the latest update. Fans took to social media to express their frustration as Vladimir Guerrero will be dearly missed. Here’s a look at some fan reactions from X.

“Fire the entire front office for the Blue Jays,” wrote one fan.

“He’s gone!” one fan replied.

“Toronto should’ve extended him. He’s gonna have a great year. He might be the number one free agent,” one fan chimed in.

“He wants to go to a contender, not a pretender,” responded one fan.

“We kept hearing how much the Blue Jays got. How they were willing to throw $700mil at Ohtani and Soto, and yet here we are. They cant even throw money at their own guy. Whole organization is fraudulent,” one fan wrote.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Says He Gave The Blue Jays His Numbers
Guerrero was unhappy with the Blue Jays’ proposal. The slugger mentioned that he gave the team his numbers, but they have not moved forward. Guerrero’s recent video shows he’s ready to move on from the Blue Jays.

“We did not get to an agreement today. They have their numbers, I have my numbers, but you know it’s just business. I always say things happen, but we are all good,” Guerrero said.

Ross Atkins said he’s trying his best to retain Guerrero but has shifted his focus to Bo Bichette. Missing out on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be a hard blow for the team. Rumors are already speculating around the slugger even before the season has started.
