Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has disclosed that the latest contract extension proposal his representatives presented to the team was significantly lower than Juan Soto's deal with the New York Mets, falling short of $600 million. 

Negotiations between Guerrero and the Blue Jays to secure a contract extension before the start of spring training were unsuccessful, setting the stage for the 25-year-old to enter free agency in November. 

In an interview with ESPN's Enrique Rojas and Ernesto Jerez, Guerrero clarified the details of the negotiation process and refuted claims that his salary expectations were comparable to the 15-year, $765 million contract the Mets awarded Soto during the offseason. 

"It's much less than Soto. We're talking about many fewer millions than Soto, more than a hundred million less. ... It was the same number of years [as Soto's contract], but it didn't reach [$600 million]. The last number we gave them as a counteroffer didn't reach 600," Guerrero said. 

"I know the business. I lowered the salary demands a bit, but I also lowered the number of years ... I'm looking for 14 [years]. I would like 14, 15, even 20 if they give them to me, but doing it the right way.

Outfielder Lawrence Butler and the A’s are in agreement on a seven-year, $65.5 million contract extension with one club option, sources tell ESPN. Butler, 24, broke out as a rookie last year and is seen as a foundational player for the A’s moving forward.

Sources: Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and some owners are pressuring Stu Sternberg to sell the Tampa Bay Rays. Revenue sharing money could be at stake.

Several groups have expressed interest, including the family of Edward DeBartolo Jr.

We used to go to Bat Day at Arlington Stadium every year.  Packed crowd, all the kids banging bats on the metal bleachers in the outfield...   One year they decided that was too much, and they handed out a coupon for a bat at the game, which completely sucked (even though we eventually got a better quality bat).

The A’s one is fake. The real one is just the A superimposed over “Athletics”

 

The sad thing is just by looking at it, you believe it. speaks to the quality of the lot.
