Vladimir Guerrero’s yearly salaries are front-loaded under the $500 million, 14-year contract he agreed to this week with the Toronto Blue Jays, a deal that covers 2026-39.

Guerrero Jr., who on Wednesday officially signed the third-richest contract in baseball history in terms of total value at $500 million, appears to have heeded the advice of Vladimir Guerrero Sr. when it comes to his new deal.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said it was a "big relief" that he and the Blue Jays were able to finalize a long-term deal. "I'm very, very happy to stay here and to be a Blue Jay," he said.
