The Toronto Blue Jays did the unthinkable on Sunday night and signed first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of Montreal, Quebec to a 14 year deal worth $500 million. The free agent signing makes Guerrero Jr. the third highest paid player in Major League Baseball history. He currently makes $35.7 million per year. That is only less than the $70 million per year that Shohei Ohtani is making with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the next nine seasons, and the $51 million per year that Juan Soto is making with the New York Mets over the next 15 seasons. Here is the reaction from X.
