In addition to the Rodriguez Tweet, there is a Hector Gomez tweet from a half hour ago & it offers some details on the timeframe, that the extension offer was made before the Soto/Mets deal
As a Mets fan I would love Vladdy but I don’t watch much of him and if you say he is going to be a DH in 5 yrs what are you doing with Soto in 8yrs? They both can’t be a DH
@@dilwalecricket lol and he didn’t take that!? He must’ve been licking his chops watching this Soto thing go down, thinking to himself, ‘Shohei, last year, Juan this year, next year , I break the market! And I don’t even think the fact he’s a 1st baseman should affect his value. Soto isn’t winning any gold glove any time soon. If I were The Mets, I’d be looking to protect my investment and steer him towards just DH’ing. I think they’re leaning this way in Boston with Devers. Vladdy is a competent 1st baseman. Devers is SuS at 3rd. But you can find better defenders and keep all these guys healthy if you’re paying them close to a Billion dollars over the life of a contract. Crazy to think 3 kids that haven’t even entered “their prime” all full time DH’s before their 30th birthday. Call me crazy, but Ronald Acuna Jr might ALSO get added to that list when he finally gets back. PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENTS ! Their bats are too important. Get them out of the field. You can long and prosperous career DH’ing. Keep your David Ortiz swinging the bat. 🤷🏻♂️
Players know their worth and have organizations by the balls....Soto did more then just set a record...he murdered the whole league in the sense of the players have the power to hold owners outta pocket,cant blame them for getting a bag but at the same time what a scumbag move to cripple a team for so much money that can last 20 lifetimes
If Toronto feels like they’ve poisoned the well with Vlady, and that he won’t accept any offer they would be irresponsible not to trade him and do so before the season begins.
If im vladdy and Toronto is offering me a extension after offering Soto a contract first, im not just rejecting it im letting it be known that im insulted and my feelings towards the organization has changed.
Here's the thing Jim... the Blue Jays REFUSE to go beyond their evaluations when it comes to a contract/monetary standpoint. Being a 74 win team last year, they are going to need to overpay for free agents/Guerrero to actually get them to commit to this squad for the future; however, they don't want to do that. I understand not wanting to overpay (no one wants to overpay) but if they are actually serious about competing next year or in subsequent seasons they are going to need to stop talking and start spending. And OF COURSE that ties in dramatically to Vladdy and his deal. Vladdy is the foundation of this team and they are going to need to come to terms with the fact that a foundation as solid as Vladimir Guerrero Jr is very expensive. If they lose Vladdy they lose their identity and to me, that is worth 500 million dollars.
I'm curious if vlad would accept 500M from the jays when he can get it elsewhere from a competent MLB club. If I were vlad I wouldn't. Plus he comes from millions, he doesn't care. Anyway, if vlad is gone so are the fans so fair point.
I'm a lifelong Mets fan and I can tell you that the other MLB owners HATE Steve Cohen. The Soto signing is going to have a negative effect on the MLB as a whole. It's going to create a situation where every big name free agent is going to try to one up the guy who got signed before him. Soto got $800 mil from the Mets now players like Vladdy Jr are looking at that and saying now I want Soto type money. It's going to hurt a lot of teams going forward. The pirates reds Marlins etc just to name a few. It's going to create a MLB where only 3 or 4 teams are going to sign all the best free agents and the other teams can't match the offers because they are all vast overpays. It's going to negatively effect the game itself. We are going to see Super teams created in the MLB. Like is already happening with the Dodgers and now maybe the Mets or Yankees. You will see the same handful of teams with loaded rosters going for the world series year in and year out. While the majority of MLB teams won't be able to compete.
Have you ever considered the possibility that Edward S. Rogers III and Robert Dean Manfred Jr were in collusion? --- A deal in secret --- Son of Rogers couldn't just move a "successful" Jays' franchise out of Toronto without fear of MAJOR repercussions and harm to the Rogers monopoly. These people need to beat down support for the Jays first.
No player is worth it the league is and owners are the ones willing to over pays like every sport baseball is taking its pay gap up now players are gonna get paid more it’s simple business. 10 years from now sotos contract will look normal, we said the same thing when trout and Harper signed their insane contracts look at those now
Mets will re sign alonso and valdy will be our DH for the next ten years! Lindor, Soto, valdy, Alonso, vientos, nimmo, Alvarez, acuna our starting lineup for 2025 and beyond!!! LGFM!!!
To be fair, until half way through last season, Vladdy had 2.5 years straight of not even being a Star player, Nevermind a superstar player. He was barely above average for an extended period of time. So how do the Jays at during that time period offer him crazy money when he had 2.5 years of Meh? I love Vladdy and want him to stay don’t get me wrong, but any offer 2 years ago wouldn’t have be a great one and I can see why.
Think about this, even after the last 2 years he won his arbitration case when the arbitrator felt that vladdy was worth the 1million he countered the jays with. Needless to say he earned another raise
i think if the jays offered 11/500-550 or something he’d take it. I believe him when he says he wants to stay in toronto. He is the face of the franchise and is in line to become one of the best Jays players of all time
At least they made him an offer wasn’t sure if they had even done that. 340 million over 10-12 years is more than fair. Love Vladdy but have to agree the with FO on this well. He is a really good hitting first baseman. Emphasis on first base.
I would pay Vladimir Guerrero Junior $765 million before I would pay one soda that money. Vladimir Guerrero is a better hitter. And Vladimir Guerrero is younger than Juan Soto so you got that part wrong.
If the Jays are thinking of trading Vlad at some point, wouldn't it make more sense to wait for the trade deadline, when teams are going to be fighting for the edge heading into the playoffs, and more willing to make better offers? By waiting until then, maybe if Toronto is somehow still in the race for a postseason spot, they decide to hang onto him for one last push. Who knows, if they shock the world and are a decent team, possibly he'll be open to staying. Not likely, but who knows?
I'll tell you something, the Management of the Blue Jays, they have a big problem very big if they want to continue keeping their jobs, they are terrible Rogers wake up if you like baseball don't let the idiots who work for you destroy it
After what happened between the Mets and Yankees, that offer to Vlad is an insult. Almost laughable. Toronto needs to trade him if possible to get something in return. Toronto really slept on this. Very sloppy.
@@blacksheepmiracle1433 If Cubs have Kyle Tucker, they will probably think of re-signing him in season or off-season. Steve Cohen will probably be going after Vladdy in off-season and it's impossible to outbid him for players, unless the player does not want to be a Met!
@@Jqueens93 I don't disagree, however, if they are trying to go for it this season, why would they stop at Tucker? Aside from Shaw, Horton and Ballesteros, the Cubs have Cassie, Triantos and Alcantara that are Top 100 prospects and are currently blocked. They can make almost any deal happen.
Jim Riley, Great channel. 2025 free agents will be Vlad Guerrero Jr and Kyle Tucker. These players are just a notch below the top 4 players of Ohtani, Judge, Soto and Bryce Harper. would not mind Vladdy as Yankees first baseman. Steve Cohen will probably go for Vladdy and get him! Vladdy is younger than Soto. He was born in 1999 and Soto in 1998.
Crazy part is you may not even get anything for Vladdy in a trade, if at all, if he is adamant in not signing an extension anywhere else, too. Blue Jays should have traded him last year.
The Mets could absolutely extend Alonso this year and sign Vladdy next year. Money is no issue, and either of them could be the primary DH. 1. Lindor SS 2. Soto RF 3. Vladdy 1B 4. Alonso DH 5. Vientos 3B 6. Nimmo LF Defense will be pretty bad, but they’ll mash
After the Soto deal, Guerrero’s going to get more. Jays should’ve extended this guy a year or two ago. He’s too close to free agency now to agree to anything.
Soto contract raised the price so much. When was offer made?? May not have made an offer after Soto deal until they see if they get anyone else. Vladdy won't sign anything until he sees what TO gets
To sign vlady now after the soto deal it will take more..if vlady is 80 percent as good as soto then im thinking 38-40 mill a year for 15 years..580-600 mill
Not judging - I love Vladdy but the Jays are willing to offer Soto $700 + no wonder why Vladdy turned it down. That’s a massive non offer! Trade him … the Jays mgt is a f’n joke.
@@ScottMiller-c1j you wanna wait a year to fill the need at 1B? If Pete isn't being brought back, why not get Vladdy now? This isn't the Yankees we are talking about here. Cohen will rectify not getting Vladdy Sr. in Queens 2 decades ago.
I think it’s smart for Vladdy to decline a deal until halfway through the season (if he’s having a bad year) or until next offseason (if he’s having a great season)
I understand the logic of not wanting to trade him to upset the fans, new ballpark etc... however, if you keep him its for this year and then he's out anyway and you are left with nothing to show for him. I believe they should trade him and get back a package of players for the future. Whether its this year or next year he's gone why not benefit from him while you still have him under contract.
Vlad grew up in the Shadow of a HOFers MLB extension money. There was no incentive to sign an extension 1 year into his career like Acuna, JRod and even Tatis or Witt, who are the source of generational wealth in their family. There's no way he would have locked up for a discount - then we manipulated his service time leaving him 5 days short of being in this class... Business is business I doubt that offer is 10 either, probably 12 years. Seems kinds weird that they project to pay Gimenez 23m in 2 years and not deem Vladdy worth more than 34 (if it is 10 years) in this market
I need to see more. He had 2 down years then 1 good year. His work ethic had been questioned in the past. Even 10 years 300mil sounds like a lot for a first baseman with his stats to this point.. he's not juan soto
Not surprised at all from this reporting, As a matter of fact i expected this would happen being that in my opinion he would be looking forward to being a free agent.That being said are the Blue Jays willing to test the free agency market and start bidding against other teams❓️I'm Toronto i rather trade him and get prospects rather than let him walk for nothing.
Had Valddy for 6 seasons with BB who were going to lead Jays to the World Series. ..NOPE. So what's the answer? Pay Vladdy 400+ million for 10 more years? Meanwhile Detroit, Baltimore Cleveland all made the playoffs last season on bargain basement payrolls. Yeah let's do the same thing over again for 10-20 times the money paid VG so far. Vladdy has to go. He ain't worth 400+mil to this club .I doubt any ML team will pay him 400 mil.
Let's see how dumb Toronto front office gets. On another subject, every hitter is going to think they want 700 million now. I get maniasian not wanting to trade ohtani because of a curse but vlad Jr ain't no ohtani so letting him walk will be utterly stupid.
Vladdy would look great in a Giants uniform. Giants need a star like Vladdy. I hope he does not go to the Yankees in Free agency, I’d rather see him stay in Toronto.
@@Michael-tj5bk Soto is good friends with Vlad and Cohen has no limit. Doesn't care about luxury tax, draft picks or IFA funds. Soto already shunned the Red Sox and now it will be Vlad.
It is time for the Jays to get their act together!!! They have made a bid mistake with Jr!!! They better get their head out of their ass and start turning it around. Jr is not coming back, he is going to be a Met!!!!

Same way Soto regrets rejecting 400m from Nats couple years ago?

The only way the Mets should trade for him is if they don’t want or can’t get Alonso and they are allowed to try and sign him long term first

Not surprised at all from this reporting, As a matter of fact i expected this would happen being that in my opinion he would be looking forward to being a free agent.That being said are the Blue Jays willing to test the free agency market and start bidding against other teams❓️I'm Toronto i rather trade him and get prospects rather than let him walk for nothing.
Future Met. Read the tea leaf’s. Him and Soto cooked this up. LFGM!!!
which means Vlad and Kyle Tucker want extensions or free agency contracts upwards of 350 million
Welcome to the Nationals, Vladdy!
Had Valddy for 6 seasons with BB who were going to lead Jays to the World Series. ..NOPE. So what's the answer? Pay Vladdy 400+ million for 10 more years? Meanwhile Detroit, Baltimore Cleveland all made the playoffs last season on bargain basement payrolls. Yeah let's do the same thing over again for 10-20 times the money paid VG so far. Vladdy has to go. He ain't worth 400+mil to this club .I doubt any ML team will pay him 400 mil.
Let's see how dumb Toronto front office gets. On another subject, every hitter is going to think they want 700 million now. I get maniasian not wanting to trade ohtani because of a curse but vlad Jr ain't no ohtani so letting him walk will be utterly stupid.
He’s a year younger than Soto
Vladdy would look great in a Giants uniform. Giants need a star like Vladdy. I hope he does not go to the Yankees in Free agency, I’d rather see him stay in Toronto.
He will be a Met in 2026. Toronto should trade him and get the best package. Don't let him walk for draft picks.
Nah . Definitely a red Sox. Already payed Soto way too much.
@@Michael-tj5bk Soto is good friends with Vlad and Cohen has no limit. Doesn't care about luxury tax, draft picks or IFA funds. Soto already shunned the Red Sox and now it will be Vlad.
@@Michael-tj5bk Red Sox owner net worth 6 billion, Met owner net worth 21.3 billion. Steve Cohen can afford to pay way too much
thats not counting the sign on bonus
All u have to do is watch Pete Alonso. If the Mets done sign him, vlady is already a met. 13-500. Bet
And with cohen he might sign both. 🎉🎉🎉😎
It is time for the Jays to get their act together!!! They have made a bid mistake with Jr!!! They better get their head out of their ass and start turning it around. Jr is not coming back, he is going to be a Met!!!!
I know it's a pipe dream but I would love for my Red Sox to get him in that line up hitting behind Raffy.
Fans need to tell Rogers to sell the team to an OWNER with a BRAIN in their head. The worst ownership topped off by the WORST management!
And who I. Their right mind wants to play in Canada!! They did Romano a favor
Vlady is nearly as good as Soto, of course he’s going to hold out for more than $340mil.
