Alright, let’s talk about this Vlad Guerrero fella, the one they call Junior. Folks keep jabberin’ ’bout his contract, so I figured I’d try and make some sense of it, ya know? Like, how much money is the boy gettin’? That’s what everyone really wants to know, ain’t it?
So, I heard tell he got himself a deal for one year, and that year they’re payin’ him a whole heap of money. Like, 28 million and 800 thousand dollars! Twenty-eight million, eight hundred thousand dollars! Can you imagine? That’s enough to buy a whole lotta chickens and feed ‘em real good for a long, long time. And that’s guaranteed money, they say. Means he’s gettin’ it no matter what, even if he just sits on the bench and scratches his… well, you know. They also say that’s his average yearly pay, 28 million and 800 thousand dollars. That’s a lot of dough.
But see, it wasn’t always so easy for the boy. Last year, they say he had to go and argue with them Blue Jays folks. Yeah, like a real fight, but with lawyers and numbers instead of fists. He wanted 19 million and 900 thousand dollars, and guess what? He got it! Good for him, I say. You gotta stand up for yourself, even if you’re swingin’ a bat instead of a hoe. And this year he’s gettin’ the same amount, 19 million and 900 thousand dollars, just like last year. They said he signed the paper on February 7th.
Now, some folks are sayin’ he’s gonna be a free agent in 2025. That means he can go play for whoever he wants, and they gotta pay him even MORE money. He’ll be 26 years old then, still a young fella in my book. And they’re talkin’ ’bout a “massive payday.” Sounds like he’s gonna be richer than Midas! Probably gonna buy himself a golden bat, maybe even a golden glove.
- One year contract: He’s just signed up for one year at a time, nothin’ fancy.
- Big Money: We’re talkin’ millions, folks. Enough to make your head spin.
- Arbitration Battle: He had to fight for his money last year, but he won.
- Free Agent Coming Up: He might be switchin’ teams soon for even MORE money.
I heard some other fella, Juan Soto, he’s gettin’ even MORE money. Like, 765 million dollars! Can you believe that? That’s just crazy talk. Makes Vlad’s money look like chicken feed, even though it ain’t. But Vlad, well they’re sayin’ they gotta pay him, and pay him big. Seems like every day they’re talkin’ ‘bout it. “Today, tomorrow and every day until the music stops.” That’s what they said, whatever that means. Sounds like they’re gonna keep payin’ him as long as he keeps hittin’ those balls, I guess.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. Vlad Guerrero Junior, makin’ a whole lotta money playin’ baseball. Good for him, I say. He’s a good boy, works hard, and deserves every penny. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
