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 $500 million US.
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.
He finished second in American League MVP voting in 2021. The four-time all-star was sixth in last year’s vote.
Guerrero’s extension kicks in next year and will last through the 2039 campaign when he’ll be 40 years old.
