Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Apologizes for Comments on $500M Blue Jays Extension

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walked back comments tied to his $500 million extension, saying he owes an apology after acknowledging that his earlier wording did not reflect what he meant to express.

The result

The Blue Jays star had said earlier this week that he stood by the idea that his extension was awarded for what he had already accomplished. He later reconsidered those remarks, saying they were “not what I really wanted to say.”

Guerrero said he should apologize for the comments, offering a more measured note after the extension discussion became a point of attention around the club.
