Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Shakes MLB Trade Market with Bold $700 Million Goal in Bid to Join Juan Soto Club

What would it take to land a $700 million contract in the MLB? Vladimir Guerrero Jr thinks he knows! And he is setting his aim high. The Toronto Blue Jays star slugger feels that if he can deliver a MVP-caliber season, he will be in conversation for a staggering deal well worth around $700 million! The confidence? Undaunting. But is it possible, practically?

Guerrero Jr, who will enter free agency after the 2025 season, is already a household name in the baseball world. Despite missing out on a long term deal with the Blue Jays before the spring training, his outlook on his worth is far from humble. After finishing sixth in 2024 AL MVP voting and posting a career OPS of 137, he found himself ranking among the Top 10 active hitters.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. believes he’ll be in the $700M range if he puts up an MVP caliber season.

Now even if his performance dips, Guerrero sees his “floor” as $500 million—a far cry from the typical contract, and yet still a monumental figure. While the Toronto Blue Jays have expressed interest in locking up their star long-term, negotiations have stalled, with both parties putting a pin in talks before spring training.

As Guerrero Jr moves closer to free agency, the MLB trade would be buzzing with excitement. The question on everyone’s mind: will Guerrero’s ambition lead him to join the ranks of baseball’s most lucrative contracts or will the pressure would be too hot to handle?

Only time will tell. However one thing is sure: Guerrero’s bold comments have set the stage for an unforgettable free agency showdown.
