The Toronto Blue Jays "never came close" to agreeing on long-term extensions for Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in past negotiations, Jon Heyman reported for the New York Post.
"And folks who know the pair believe the Jays have little to no chance to lock up Bichette, and maybe only a slightly better chance with Guerrero," Heyman wrote.
The Blue Jays are on pace to be sellers at the deadline, and both Bichette and Guerrero are currently set to hit unrestricted free agency in 2026.
However, Toronto general manager Ross Atkins indicated earlier this month that the Jays plan to keep both stars past the July 30 deadline.
