Yea sounds like 13 years 585 mill was his ask according to David Ortiz,who is a close family friend of Vlad Sr.
It’s crazy money for mediocre fielder who can’t run the bases. I like Vlad but shit 585 million? He’s gonna DH for at least 50 percent of those 13 years.
Sounds like the Jays offered over 400 million. He is betting on himself to have a monster season in a career year.
Monster 4 months in Toronto, Pinstripes for 2 months.
Toronto receives the Updated Puu Puu Platter from the Yankees.
13 /585 isnt the worst deal for a to be 26 year old for his 26-38 years. 45/yr 13 years from now wont sting that much.
Bad move. Listened to Santander interview today in English. Dude is funny. Also, he knows Vladdy’s parents, probably part of why he signed in Toronto.
I think maybe that is a miss. You have to Do Really Well with that 585 in FA and I dont think whowver will be soon steering HMS Bluebird is gonna be able to. More and more guys are getting soaked up into these Colt Keith/Lawrence Butler type extensions that eat up their age 24-30 seasons in exchange for high 8 figure guarantees.
He will 27 when the new contract kicks in…but to me it just feels like Prince Fielder 2.0
If they did it, I guess I would clap. But the risk vs reward is insane to me.
We could replace Vlad with several good players for 600 mill
As a Tigers fan, you wanna give a slow 1st basemen 600 mill?
How many fast 1bmen are there? That are worth a crap? Besides Bagwell…not many ever.
This is basically Prince Fielder redux, except Vladdy is Face of Franchise. Pretty similar guys actually.
No for Prince. Maybe for VladdyJ.
Better than paying a 29 year old SS that swings at anything in the zipcode
He is the face… But 2 of his last 4 seasons were pretty mediocre. Dude can hit, and I love him but he’s been very inconsistent in his 6 years in mlb
I repeat my question… As a Tigers fan…you giving Vlad 600 mill in free agency?
I would, but it’s not my money.
Vladdy is my favorite non-tiger in the league.
No, but he aint our guy and we have a truckload of young Talent that will be arriving over the next 2 to 3 years and has been arriving for the last 2 years so on a completely different situation. Springer has sprung and bo maybe knows how to get back to being bo. You then still have the Fat Boys as your filler lineup guys so you need that one big anchor bat
IDK, is part of the $600m going to include moving the Comerica outfield walls in 40 ft?
Yea this year could be fun… But the jays need a massive rebuild next offseaaon.
You guys always make fun of me… But I like what the Tigers are doing. They are my second team for sure. Much smarter with player development.
Lol love ya bud 
Lions SB contenders multiple years
Tigers being praised league wide for player development.
Hell has definitely frozen over.
Yeah bruh, you aint gonna like this.
Vladdy basically wanted $37.5AAV NPV and Blue Jays tried to defer some of it w/o bumping AAV.
That’s a deal that shoulda got done. Hopefully this is Vladdy shaming them into bumping an offer if he really does want to stay
I mean it’s still a shit ton of money. 500 mill, even if some is deferred is still pretty wild for a guy who will DH most of the contract. The Jays offered the 3rd biggest contract in mlb history. Seems pretty fair to me and I hate the GM…lol
I really think it’s always been about him wanting to test free agency. We will see. If he has a mid level year won’t be any 500 mill offers.
He’s also in every other commercial up here in Ontario. He makes a killing in advertisements and endorsements. Hard to feel sorry for a guy who essentially tuned down Ohtani money when you factor in modern day value.
He also said contract talks were private then went on a podcast and gave out all the numbers. He’s not the smartest guy that’s for sure.
500 mill wasn’t enough… This time? Turn down 550? So tired of this never ending saga. The tv shows up North just talk Vlad rumors non stop. More talk about him than opening day.
Blue Jays are looking great… Lol only down 10 runs.
