Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has finally opened up the failed contract negotiations with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Earlier in Spring Training, Vladdy had talked about the failed deal in vague terms, simply saying saying "I'm here and we didn't get an agreement".
And yet, it would appear that it comes to speaking with Spanish-Language media, Guerrero cannot stop talking. This became evident when he spilled the beans to two Spanish-speaking ESPN journalists earlier this week.
«It's much less than Soto. We're talking many fewer millions than Soto. More than a hundred million less It was the same number of years, but it didn't reach (US$600-million). The last number we gave them as a counteroffer didn't reach $600-million
Whatever happens, General manager Ross Atkins and the Blue Jays will look like bad guys. If Vladdy has an off-year, the Blue JAysVladdy for a minimal return.
If Guerrero has a good year and leaves, fans will probably burn the place down, letting their frustrations out on Atkins - rightfully so - for not being able to sign a homegrown, franchise player.
Get ready for a whole lot of awkwardness.
