The Toronto Blue Jays could be working on making sure Vladimir Guerrero Jr. never hits free agency. The two sides are working on an extension as Guerrero's self-imposed deadline nears.

After news broke that the Mets were pivoting away from Pete Alonso, the Blue Jays have emerged as contenders to sign the free agent slugger.

The Toronto Blue Jays attempts to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have not gone according to plan so far. The Toronto Blue Jays have about a month to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr., as the third baseman and his representation have set a tentative deadline for the start of spring training to agree to a new contract.
