Hector Gomez shared on X that a source close to Guerrero Jr. revealed that by the coming weekend, the Blue Jays could make the extension official. Not to mention, this news is coming post-March offer of a jaw-dropping 14 to 15-year contract worth between $550 and $600 million.

Regardless of the high stakes and hefty numbers, there’s a pool of skepticism among fans. One thing’s for sure, excitement isn’t their first emotion after knowing this.

The Blue Jays fans question the value of Guerrero Jr.’s extension

The Blue Jays’ front office might be gearing up to announce the massive contract extension with Guerrero Jr., but are the fans delighted about it? Not even a little. They have blown up the internet with skepticism about it. They’re questioning everything—from his price tag to whether he’s even the right fit anymore.

Some have raised questions about his performance and consistency.

Vlad Jr is very inconsistent , I don’t think he deserves a max contract. he has proven he can’t carry a team. Unmatured and not focused in the game, he just show interest to hang out with his team mates and the players from the rival team during the game.

It’s definitely a brutal take against Guerrero. On the other hand, some believe it’s all pointless and he won’t be re-signing.

He ain’t resigning. Blue Jays can offer 800m and he will still sign elsewhere. It’s inevitable

This was a serious doubt around Guerrero’s long-term commitment with the Blue Jays. While some were sugarcoating, there were others who were bluntly honest.

He’s not worth that.

The underlying frustration is very much evident after so many reported negotiations. Although the official announcement hasn’t been made yet, fans have already taken their stance—they’re not happy about it anymore.
