You saw the Angels you missed Ohtani, a famous reporter who asked you to give him as Guerrero asked, right? That's about half a billion dollars?

The ancient Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero said 'More indecision loses than wrong decision.
ESPN quoted Cicero's phrase on the 26th (Korea time) in an article titled 「How the Blue Jays are approaching Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s FA」, diagnosing that 「The Blue Jays are slowly leading them to a terrible situation, giving Guerrero all the initiatives」. If not, extend the extension contract right away, or give up your relationship with him and trade right away.
A week has passed since Toronto conducted spring training in Dunedin, Florida. The deadline for the extension contract, which Guerrero notified the club, was on the 19th, the official opening day of spring training.
Arriving at Dunedin camp that day, Guerrero said: "There was an amount offered by the club, there was an amount I wanted"We set a deadline of 9 p.m. last night, but the last time the team called was 10:30 p.m. But the offer wasn't close to the level I wanted it to be.'
He said he would not proceed with contract negotiations any further, but just before that, he was not going to close the door completely. If there's a real offer," he said, leaving room.

There is no way to confirm the amount Guerrero requested, but local media predict that it will be at least $500 million. However, ESPN said that no matter how much Guerrero asks for, Toronto should match it as much as possible.
Reporter Buster Olney, who wrote the article, said 'Guerrero still has one season to go before he becomes FA (if signed)'We have one last chance to secure a bridgehead into a brighter future.'" Toronto must meet Guerrero, apologize for wasting time, and enter negotiations to raise the white flag. 'If Guerrero doesn't ask for the equivalent of Juan Soto's $765 million, whatever the requirements he said no a week ago, he should now say yes.'"

The Angels had Ohtani with an annual salary of $30 million in 2023 and then looked for a trade opportunity before collecting him from the market when the possibility of the postseason was seen in the middle of the season. Around the trade deadline, the proposals were rejected despite a flurry of trade inquiries from prestigious clubs such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. It was an opportunity to secure a number of prospects if they gave up Ohtani, who could not catch it anyway.

Of course, Toronto's power is quite different from the Angels in 2023. Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassett, Jose Berrios and other starters are in good shape, Bobby??If this comes to life and Andres Jimenez plays his part, he can compete for the second and third place in the AL East. However, only one nomination right after the season is gained by keeping Guerrero until the unstable ranking fight continues.
In the end, reporter Olney argues that he has to sign an extension contract. It is to get rid of all the sprouts that will bring anxiety.
Guerrero hit 48 home runs in 2021 and ranked second after Ohtani in the AL MVP vote, becoming a top-class star, and suffered two consecutive seasons in 2022 (32 home runs, OPS 0.818) and 2023 (26 home runs, OPS 0.788), but he succeeded in reviving last year with a batting average of 0.323, 30 home runs, 103 RBIs, and OPS 0.940, becoming the biggest prospective FA fish.
