Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will probably take the spotlight in the 2025 offseason, much like Juan Soto did in 2024. Soto, who made a World Series trip with the New York Yankees, was rewarded with a record 15-year, $765 contract with the New York Mets.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who will be a free agent at age 26 after the 2025 season, will eye something similar. However, Blue Jays insider Arden Zwelling is unsure if Vlad will earn significantly more than the current best deal for the first baseman, which is Bryce Harper's 13-year $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.
"Unless somebody is going to be completely fiscally irresponsible, the highest contract we've seen for a first baseman is Bryce Harper’s $330 million over 10 years," Zwelling said on the JD Bunkis Podcast (18:15).
