The Blue Jays ponder what might have been β€”Β the All-Almost-a-Blue-Jay Team β€” and what’s ahead Missing out on Ohtani, Soto, Burnes, Alonso and Sasaki. Failing to extend Vlad Jr. Is this becoming a thing? Taking the temp of those in TO.

Blue Jays never should have reached this point with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The team had plenty of chances to reach a contract extension with their homegrown star long before Tuesday's self-imposed deadline.

When asked if the Blue Jays were close to the contract number Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would have signed, his one-word answer: β€œNo.”

Still, Guerrero said he would re-sign in free agency and wants to be a Blue Jay for life. He also said: Now, they’ll have to beat 29 other teams.
