Guerrero is still looking for a contract between $450-$550 million which the Blue Jays are apparently getting close to despite previous reports that they had yet to make him an offer over $400 million.
If Guerrero is going to sign a deal with Toronto, we've heard other reports indicate that it would be for between $450-550 million. If Guerrero were to hit free agency, he'd be the most coveted player on the market next season. -Farkas
Many see the possible Pete Alonso deal as a replacement for Guerrero but there is a high likelihood that if they land Alonso they will do everything they can to keep Guerrero as they two paired together would be an incredible duo.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the last two weeks before Spring Training.
