While both Guerrero and the Blue Jays have stated their desire to reach a longterm agreement, that did not happen before the start of Spring Training when negotiations were tabled.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off a sixth-place finish in American League MVP voting, Guerrero owns a career 137 OPS+ that ranks 10th among active hitters. Just turning 26 years old, the four-time All-Star is seeking a contract he says Toronto never came close to offering (via ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Passan).<\/p>\n<p>It was reported by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that Guerrero wants $500 million in present value, not in deferrals.<\/p>\n<p>Per the New York Post, Toronto did offer Guerrero &#8220;about $500 million&#8221; in total value, but with significant deferrals. Not long after this news, the right-handed first baseman shared a three-word message about the New York Yankees being among the teams he will speak to in 2025 free agency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Including the Yankees,&#8221; Guerrero said in Spanish to MLB reporter Yancen Pujols.<\/p>\n<p>Vladdy Jr. says he&#8217;ll speak to every team during his free agency &#8220;including the Yankees&#8221; pic.twitter.com\/X2D7j13bg9<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vladdy Jr. says he\u2019ll speak to every team during his free agency \u201cincluding the Yankees\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X2D7j13bg9\">pic.twitter.com\/X2D7j13bg9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Talkin&#39; Yanks (@TalkinYanks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalkinYanks\/status\/1902401187019624868?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Should the Blue Jays remain unwilling to meet Guerrero&#8217;s asking price, the door would seemingly be left open for New York and other big market teams to land the 2022 Gold Glove Award winner.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Jon Heyman of the New York Post last month, Guerrero admitted he grew up disliking the Yankees, but has left that behind him as his free agency nears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was a child with my dad, and like all (players&#8217;) kids I was in front of the dugout, and somebody from the Yankees told my dad that \u2018You gotta take your kid (inside).
