The superstar infielder reportedly self-imposed a Monday night deadline to reach a new contract with the Blue Jays. That didn’t get the job done. Now, the 25-year-old enters spring training in the final year of his current deal and is set to become a free agent at season’s end.

After not reaching an agreement with the Toronto Blue Jays, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. enters 2025 as the most talked about future free agent in baseball.

Position players reported to camp for the Blue Jays Tuesday morning and there wasn't a contract extension with slugging first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. This means his self-imposed deadline to reach an extension wasn't met and he now intends to hit free agency next offseason.
