Guerrero was set to become a free agent after the 2025 season was over. The Slugging first Baseman would have had lots of volunteers in the open market, but reportedly chose to stay with the team, which he took up as an amateur -free agent in 2015.
He will receive the third largest contract in total dollars, behind Juan Soto’s 15-year-old, $ 765 million deal with the New York Mets and Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year-old, $ 700 million agreement with Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Associated Press.
The deal does not include any deferred money, the Associated Press reported.

The son of the Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero broke into the main subjects of the 2019 season. He led Majors in Homer race in 2021 with 48. It was the first time he was an all-star.
Since then, Guerrero has made the All-Star team every season.
The first Baseman hit 0.323 with a ops of .940 and 30 home runs in 2024. However, his postal seasonal numbers have been far from what Toronto needs to get back to the World Series struggle.
Guerrero is 3-for-22 all the time in the postal season. He has a batting average of .136 without any homers.
Now that Toronto seems to have Guerrero locked in the foreseeable future, Toronto will begin his push back to the World Series. The team has not won a title since they went back-to-back in the 1992 and 1993 seasons.

Toronto is 5-5 so far this year.
