DUNEDIN, Fla. -- First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays failed to come to terms on a contract extension prior to his Monday night deadline, paving the way for the 25-year-old star to hit free agency in November.
Guerrero, a four-time All-Star and son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, had set the deadline to reach an extension. Without a deal in place, Guerrero plans to cut off talks and play out the season as an impending free agent, according to sources.
"They had their numbers; I had my numbers," Guerrero said Tuesday.
