Sure, the Blue Jays had reason to be jubilant. They were on their way to taking three of four from the Red Sox at Fenway Park -- a place that's given them fits the past couple of years. Both Springer and Bichette have gotten off to strong and steady starts, respectively, after down years in 2023.

According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the Blue Jays will pay $325 million of the deal to Guerrero in a signing bonus, while the remaining $175 million will be paid in salary. Rosenthal added that both the signing bonus and salary "will be distributed in varying annual amounts over the 14-year term of the deal."

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.
