It's time to pay the man.
Now that the Juan Soto sweepstakes are over, its time to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr to an extension.

He also earned the AL Silver Slugger Award for first base.
Vlad Jr was named to the All-MLB First Team as the league's top performer at the position.
Guerrero led all first basemen in WAR, as calculated by FanGraphs, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging and doubles while finishing top-five in RBIs and home runs.
He's a two time Tip O'Neill award winner and the youngest player ever to win the All-Star game MVP award in 2021.
