Stay patient, Blue Jays fans.

The lucrative 14-year, $500 million deal between the team and star first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that was reported to be agreed upon early Monday morning won’t be finalized just yet.

According to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi, due to the logistics of completing a required physical prior while on the road, the Blue Jays and Guerrero Jr. won’t be able to put pen to paper on Monday.

Toronto is in the midst of a 10-game road trip, set to visit the Red Sox in Boston on Monday night for the first of a four-game set from Fenway Park.

Guerrero Jr.’s deal has him set to be the face of the Jays franchise until at least his age-40 season and gives him the second-richest contract in baseball history by present value. It’s also the largest financial commitment made by the Blue Jays ever, more than three times George Springer’s six-year, $150 million deal.

And while it appears neither the Montreal-born slugger nor the front office will comment on the historic agreement until it’s finalized, it didn’t stop others around the organization from chiming in.

Manager John Schneider remained generally tight-lipped when asked about the reported agreement but did make sure to praise the 26-year-old with his response.

“I’ve been lucky enough to … watch him grow and perform,” the Blue Jays bench boss said of Guerrero Jr., who first joined the organization as a 16-year-old. “He’s a huge part of our team and hopefully a big part of our team for a long time.

Kevin Gausman, who’s been a teammate of Guerrero Jr. and a starting pitcher for the Jays for the last four seasons, added that “he’s a superstar” when asked about his first baseman’s record deal.

“He’s exactly what you would want to be in a franchise guy … It’s a huge step for the organization and the front office to say like, hey, this is our guy … I’m glad they did that.”

Newly acquired Max Scherzer initially responded with a stunned “wow, awesome,” before adding that the reported move is “great and especially for the organization, you just solidified … hey, we know who’s playing first now for the next 14 years. That solves so many different pieces.”

All the while, shortstop Bo Bichette teased the fact that he may have heard about the monumental contract before others.

“Luckily, I was in the know a little bit earlier, but super excited for him. (It was) something he wanted, something the organization wanted. Seems like it’s going to be a good marriage.”

And speaking of long-term commitments, with Guerrero Jr.’s deal seemingly sorted, Bichette appears to be next in line. The two-time All-Star is nearing free agency this off-season and has made it known he’d like to follow the same path as his teammate.

“My goal as a kid was always to be with an organization my whole career and build a winning culture, Bichette said, per Davidi. Obviously, that shifted to being with the Blue Jays forever and building a winning culture with Vladdy.”

And while Bichette added that “nothing is on the table” between himself and the Blue Jays at this time, he noted that it’s not something he’s even been thinking about as the 2025 season has gotten underway.

“I have a long season ahead and that’s where my focus is, and that’s where I want to keep it.”
