[Davidi] Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. settle at $28.5M for 2025

[Terminator]

The extension will be easy to make

[Laika]

Wow!!!

[Eat My Shatkins]

So with all the arb cases done fangraphs has the Jays LTP estimated at $228,370.427

 

$12 million to be just under the 1st threshold

$32 million to be just under the 2nd threshold 

$52 million to be just under the 3rd threshold

$72 million to be just under the 4th threshold

[Spanky99]

Less than I thought too

[Jays24]

Should we look that no extension was worked out as a bad sign or no sign?  Trying to adjust a panic meter for a friend lol

[RobinThicc]

Tell ur friend they don’t know ball

Same

I think he could have fought for more through arbitration and won 

But he's likely looking at the big picture and a 12-14 year contract and realizes that makes a couple extra million now meaningless

The good thing is they didn't go to an Arb hearing and maybe there's some good faith in an extension, haha. They now have about a month to get it resolved.

Kirky signed at 4.6M by the way.

[Carlos Danger]

I guess the Jays had to wait until they  were both done at the all you can eat buffet before they would accept their offers.

Right, for a "friend"

[Omar]

Well, it shows that they are talking at least.

That's Hector Gomez on X

I wonder if a Vlad extension opens up another tier of spending 

I would freaking hope so

That number includes players on minor league deals with the potential to make the team.  The LTP is actually lower unless you assume the Lauer's of the team are a lock to make the team.  I much prefer spotrac which shows the break down of every player.  They have us at 219. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/tax

It was probably one of Atkins' surrogate's.

What's interesting is that Vlad took a lower than projected 2025 salary, so if by some chance they actually do agree to an extension, then the extension doesn't reflect in the CBT calculation until 2026. I mean it's only like a $1-2M savings for CBT purposes, but still a benefit when it comes to adding to the 2025 team. Vlad could have easily haggled over that amount and gone to arbitration (and probably won) but he settled for less. Whether that's a sign of an extension being possible or whether Vlad just wanted to avoid arbitration again knowing he'll get his money next year regardless is the question.

This is why I mentioned the extension last night, it's certainly probable.

 A good sign at minimum.

Wonder if the Jays will make an offer with a lot of potential bonuses etc to make the deal worth up to what Vladdy is asking for so he can at least say "I got my record breaking contract etc".. but in reality the deal is more or less valued closer to the 350 the Jays were offering before.

 

Having an opt out when Vladdy is 31-32 might not be a bad thing.
