First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. A monumental, no-deferral deal to keep the homegrown star in Toronto for the rest of his career.

LHP Richard Lovelady has been DFA’d. LHP Mason Fluharty selected to big league roster and active for today’s game per #BlueJays
