Blue Jays Discussion: 2024-25 Off-season: The free agent watch begins (and sometimes old baseball radio broadcasts)

Yikes. Run away, run far away from that negotiation table.

IDK, our division rivals are loading up and in a few years that probably won't be seen as such a big contract, and chances are he'll continue to be a good pitcher

Vladdy isn’t worth $500 mill. The contract probably would be a boat anchor half way through it.

At this point you really have to look at trading him.

that contract is a cautionary tale waiting to happen. Also the city has see tons of athletes leave it's not even a big deal anymore. Guererro isn't anything special in that regard.

Just wondering if the same posters that were calling Vladdy fat and lazy last May are the same ones complaining that he hasn’t been offered $500 million.

This managment group has completely botched the Vladdy and Bo situation.

Management has botched the Vlad situation. Low balling him after offering Soto big money. He's all but gone.

That's the bad news. Good news is Vlad, Bo, Green and Bassett will bring collasal return of prospects at deadline

I believe that’s the biggest contract for a 1B.

That’s a very fair offer.

Him rejecting 340 million doesn't reflect negatively on management. I am really torn on this honestly, I really want to keep Vlad....but also he absolutely is not worth a 400+ million contract. The prudent move is to trade him. He can't be allowed to walk to free agency though, that is the one thing that can't happen.

They should have signed him way earlier is where this management team dropped the ball. Same with Bo!
