The Blue Jays appear to be closing in on a massive contract extension with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Boston Red Sox have been among the teams around MLB that are expected to be interested in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. if he becomes available. Guerrero is among the major leagues' top hitters, but some have questioned whether the Toronto Blue Jays will let him walk.

"The Toronto Blue Jays continue to inch closer to signing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a contract extension, likely a 14- or 15-year deal worth about $500 million, which will be crucial for Blue Jays CEO Mark Shapiro’s popularity in Toronto," Nightengale wrote.
