But just as exchanging filing numbers wouldn't have doomed the negotiations, this doesn't guarantee anything. This was the easy part. More work ahead." - Ben Nicholson-Smith
Following his hearing last spring, Guerrero told reporters there were «no hard feelings» about the Blue Jays taking him through the entire arbitration process.
While it can be difficult for some players to hear why their team doesn't feel they're worth the requested salary, Guerrero said he's aware of how the parties had to approach the proceedings.
Guerrero coming to terms ahead of the deadline means that the Blue Jays were able to reach an agreement with all of their arbitration-eligible players.
According to Mark Feinsand Alejandro Kirk and the Blue Jays have also settled on a $4.6 million deal for 2025 avoiding arbitration.
