The Toronto Blue Jays missed the postseason for the first time in three seasons after finishing last in the American League East with a record of 74-88.<\/p>\n

Although the Blue Jays made the playoffs in 2022 and 2023, they were swept in the wild-card series in both of those appearances.<\/p>\n

With the AL East just getting better and better, the Blue Jays were expected to be aggressive this offseason to keep pace.<\/p>\n

However, they have not made any significant acquisitions thus far, and many believe they need to focus on extending star player Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/p>\n

MLB insider Jim Duquette predicted what kind of contract Guerrero will get.<\/p>\n

\n

“It’s gonna be a 12-to-15-year deal if it gets done,” Duquette said, via MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

"It's long-term or bust."<\/p>\n

Toronto is on the clock with their efforts to keep Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in a #BlueJays<\/a> uniform past 2025 \"\u23f1\"<\/p>\n

As of now, Guerrero is set to become a free agent after the 2025 season, but the Blue Jays can try to extend him before that point.<\/p>\n

Duquette believes Guerrero will get a contract similar in length to those of other notable free agents, such as Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto.<\/p>\n

Guerrero had another great season in 2024, playing 159 games and batting .323 with 30 home runs, 103 RBIs and a .940 OPS.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays will need Guerrero if they want any chance at competing for a division title against the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

While there is still time left this offseason, the performance thus far by the Blue Jays has been underwhelming.<\/p>\n
