TORONTO -- Calling Canada his "second house," slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. signed his $500-million, 14-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
Guerrero, 26, was born in Montreal while his Hall of Famer father Vladimir Sr. was playing for the Expos. The younger Guerrero signed with the Blue Jays as a 16-year-old in 2015 and made his big league debut in 2019.
"I was born here and this is my second house," Guerrero said in English on Monday. "I've spent a lot of time here in Toronto and Canada. When a country gives you love, you've got to give the love back, you know? That's what I'm doing right now."
Guerrero typically speaks in Spanish and uses a translator when taking questions from reporters, but spoke only English on Monday.
Edward Rogers, executive chair of team owner Rogers Communications, called Guerrero "truly a historic franchise player," and said the contract represented "an historic deal for Canada and for this club."
"This was the right move for the Jays, and that's the way that we looked at it," Rogers said. "Vlad started his career here. We also considered him family and wanted him to stay, right from the start. It's a great long-term deal that will make the Blue Jays more competitive, increase our chances to win and be contenders."
Guerrero is a .288 career hitter with 160 homers and 514 RBIs. The four-time All-Star is batting .302 with no homers and seven RBIs in 16 games this season.
"He's demonstrated that he's among the most impressive offensive performers in the game," Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro said.
A two-time Silver Slugger, Guerrero was the AL Gold Glove award winner at first base in 2022. He won the MLB Home Run Derby at the 2023 All-Star Game in Seattle, matching his father's 2007 achievement. They are the only father-son duo to win the derby.
Beyond offensive talent, Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Guerrero's enthusiastic and energetic personality is an attractive quality.
"He brings not only elite competitiveness but that signature smile that everyone wants to be around," Atkins said. "Certainly I do. I know his teammates embrace it and will continue to."
Blue Jays players George Springer, Anthony Santander, Andrés Giménez and José Berríos were on hand for Monday's event, and cheered loudly after Guerrero signed his new deal.
Also in the crowd were manager John Schneider, associate manager DeMarlo Hale, first base coach Mark Budzinski, as well as Guerrero's wife, daughter, and extended family.
Guerrero agreed in January to a $28.5 million, one-year contract that avoided arbitration, and had said he wouldn't negotiate after he reported to spring training in mid-February. Still, talks with his agent continued into the regular season before the deal was struck last week.
The Blue Jays announced the contract while on the road at Boston last Wednesday.
Guerrero's deal is the third-largest contract in total dollars behind outfielder Juan Soto's $765 million, 15-year contract with the New York Mets that started this season and two-way star Shohei Ohtani's $700 million, 10-year agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers that began last year and is heavily deferred.
Guerrero's $35.71 million average annual value under the new deal ranks eighth among current contracts behind the agreements of Ohtani ($70 million), Soto ($51 million), Philadelphia pitcher Zack Wheeler ($42 million), Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge ($40 million), Texas pitcher Jacob deGrom ($37 million), Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell ($36.4 million) and Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole ($36 million).
Guerrero's deal includes a record $325 million signing bonus that protects the money from a possible work stoppage in 2027.
"It's just another mechanism that was a win-win for the team and the player," Atkins said of the hefty signing bonus. "He benefits from the guaranteed nature of it, there are some small accounting benefits to him and there are some small accounting benefits to the Blue Jays as well. It was just an avenue for us to find a way to get closer to the finish line."
Atkins declined to offer specifics on how those "accounting benefits" impact the Blue Jays. Guerrero's portion received as a signing bonus presumably will be exempt from state income tax in Florida, where he is a resident.
The signing bonus includes $20 million payable within 30 days of the agreement's approval by Major League Baseball. The remainder is due each June 30 from 2026-39: $13 million in 2026, $14 million in 2027, $16 million in 2028, $18 million in 2029, $20 million each in 2030, '31 and '32, $22 million apiece in 2033 and '34, $23 million in 2035, $24 million in 2036, $29 million in 2037, $31 million in 2038 and $33 million in 2039.
Guerrero gets salaries of $17 million each in 2026 and '27, $16 million in 2028, $15 million in 2029, $14.5 million apiece in 2030, '31 and '32, $12.5 million each in 2033 and '34, $11.5 million in 2035, $10.5 million in 2036, $7 million in 2037, $6.5 million in 2038 and $6 million in 2039.
He would earn a $150,000 bonus for winning an MVP award, $125,000 for finishing second in the voting, $100,000 for third, $75,000 for fourth and $50,000 for fifth. Guerrero would get $50,000 each for making the All-Star team or winning World Series MVP, a Gold Glove award or a Silver Slugger. He would get $25,000 for League Championship Series MVP.
In addition, Toronto will provide Guerrero with four seats for all regular-season home games and a luxury suite at a discounted rate, subject to availability, for all regular-season and postseason home games.
Guerrero was asked Monday about the future of teammate and shortstop Bo Bichette, who is eligible for free agency following the World Series. Both sons of former big leaguers, the two came up together through Toronto's minor leagues and debuted a few months apart in 2019.
"I can't control his destiny," Guerrero said. "I hope he stays here with me, from the bottom of my heart, but I can't control that."
TORONTO -- Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna is not with the team for its game in Toronto on Monday night after returning to Atlanta a day earlier to have an MRI on his sore hip.
Ozuna, who went back to Atlanta after Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, is day-to-day, Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
"We just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything big," Snitker said. "There's some inflammation in there. He's going to stay back and get treated up. We'll just see every day how it gets."
Ozuna, 34, is batting .306 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 15 games. He went hitless in three at-bats in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Rays.
Snitker said he noticed "a couple of days ago" that Ozuna was struggling because of the hip while running the bases.
Bryan De La Cruz was the DH for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer is still dealing with soreness in his right thumb and will make a second visit to a specialist in the U.S. later this week, manager John Schneider said Monday.
A three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer received a cortisone injection in his troublesome thumb during a March 31 visit with Dr. Thomas Graham.
Schneider said the 40-year-old Scherzer played catch several times on Toronto's recent road trip, doing so most recently Friday at Baltimore.
"He threw for four or five days on the road, each day with some varying degree of good or bad," Schneider said. "He just wants to try to hammer it out."
Scherzer left his debut start with the Blue Jays against Baltimore on March 29 after three innings because of soreness in his right lat muscle. He said after the game that his thumb issue was to blame for that soreness.
Toronto put Scherzer on the 15-day injured list on March 30 because of right thumb inflammation. Earlier in March, Scherzer had a spring training start pushed back because of thumb pain.
"The longer he is out, the longer it will take to get him back," Schneider said. "But I think first and foremost, just want to get it right.
Scherzer signed a $15.5 million, one-year contract with the Blue Jays in February. He went 2-4 with a 3.95 ERA in nine starts for Texas last season, starting the year on the injured list while recovering from lower back surgery. He also had a stint on the IL with shoulder fatigue and didn't pitch after Sept. 14 because of a left hamstring strain.
ITTF Mens and Womens World Cup Macao 2025 Kicks Off With Thrilling Day 1 Action
The prestigious ITTF Mens and Womens World Cup 2025 commenced on 14 April 2025 at the Galaxy Arena in Macao, where the worlds elite table tennis athletes began their quest for global supremacy. The opening day delivered spectacular performances, surprising results, and captivating moments that set the tone for what promises to be an exhilarating tournament.
Day 1 saw a blend of dominant performances from established stars and impressive showings from emerging talents. Indias Manika Batra claimed the distinction of the tournaments first win, defeating Giret Maylis 4-0 (11-1, 11-2, 11-6, 11-4) in a dominant Group 16 encounter.
Chinese prodigy and reigning World Youth Champion Huang Youzheng made a statement with a commanding 4-0 victory over veteran Mohamed Elbiali, dazzling the enthusiastic crowd with his remarkable shot-making. The match also witnessed the tournaments first-ever Table Tennis Review (TTR) system in action.
The day concluded with one of the tournaments first upsets as Thailands Suthasini Sawettabut overcame Korea Republics highly-rated Kim Nayeong 3-1 (9-11, 11-8, 11-7, 11-6) in a physically demanding contest, demonstrating remarkable resilience after losing the opening game.
European stars demonstrated their prowess throughout the day. Frances Simon Gauzy maintained his impressive record against Spanish rival Alvaro Robles, rallying from a game down to secure a 3-1 victory in their Group 7 encounter, while Germanys Sabine Winter showcased the effectiveness of her innovative Anti-spin backhand rubber in a 3-1 win against Korea Republics Lee Eunhye.
In one of the days most anticipated matchups, German starlet and reigning World Youth Champion Annett Kaufmann exhibited remarkable mental fortitude, recovering from a 0-2 deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against Frances Prithika Pavade in a contest that highlighted the exceptional talent of the sports next generation.
Asian competitors reinforced their reputation for excellence with several convincing victories. Japans Hiroto Shinozuka and Shunsuke Togami each secured impressive 4-0 wins, while Chinese Taipeis contingent enjoyed a perfect start with Kao Cheng-Jui, Huang Yi-Hua, and Chien Tung-Chuan all emerging victorious in their respective matches.
Egyptian players made their presence felt, with teenage sensation Hana Goda delivering a commanding 4-0 victory over local hope Seak Hui Li. Her compatriot Dina Meshref, making her eighth World Cup appearance, secured a resolute 3-1 win over Zhu Chengzhu.
In a highly anticipated African continental clash, Nigerias Quadri Aruna prevailed 3-1 (11-6, 11-9, 6-11, 11-8) over Benins Abdel-Kader Salifou, reigniting their rivalry from the recent ITTF African Cup.

After trailing 0-1, Lum showcased his powerful forehand to take control, but squandered two game points in the decisive fourth game that would have secured him a remarkable victory. This match perfectly illustrated how the new format amplifies the significance of every point.
As Day 1 concludes, attention turns to tomorrows crucial matches that will further shape the qualification landscape. View the full schedule for day 2 here.
The ITTF Mens and Womens World Cup 2025 continues through 20 April at the Galaxy Arena in Macao. Table tennis enthusiasts worldwide can follow the action live through official ITTFs Youtube channel and witness history in the making as the tournament unfolds.
Iyogun said he had relished the challenge of testing himself against two strong French packs in successive weeks.
"You're playing against the top of the top. In terms of our training standard and our level, we've never underestimated our opposition, we wanted to prove a point and have done a pretty decent job," he said.
"At the start of the season, I had a bit of blip, suffering an ankle injury and I've just tried to get on the park, get as many training sessions in as possible."
Iyogun, who played for England A against Australia A last year, has made 18 appearances for Saints this season, scored two tries, and has established himself as a favourite among supporters.
He said: "As a prop, you're sometimes in the shadows and it's nice to get some recognition for the hard work you're putting in.
"The world of the front row is changing and you're being forced to play in a way that is very free-flowing and flexible now, as opposed to walking from set-piece to set-piece."
The Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster will take place on 24 May so Northampton return to Premiership action on Friday as they travel north to face Newcastle Falcons.
They are eighth in the table, 13 points adrift of the top four with just five games remaining.
Head coach Brian Easson says Scotland failed to do themselves justice with a "really disappointing performance" in their Women's Six Nations defeat to Italy.
The Scots were outplayed by an impressive Azzurri side who looked sharper throughout and outscored their hosts by five tries to three in Edinburgh.
The defeat puts paid to Scotland's pre-tournament target of three home wins and Easson admits his side's largely lacklustre display took him by surprise.
"I didn't see it coming at all," Easson told BBC Scotland. "We didn't play well. I was really disappointed.
"I thought we got dominated at contact time. We didn't manage the game as well as we'd hoped.
"They were very short periods of time that we kept ball, short periods of time where we defended and had real urgency as well.
"So that was a really disappointing performance and that's just not what Scotland Women are all about.
"It was just one of those performances that nothing clicked at all.
"That's not what we expect, not the standards that we expect of this team. It's not the standards that they would expect for themselves either and it's just one of those ones we're going to have to look at closely, understand why and move on."
Scotland face defending champions England in Leicester next weekend, with the Red Roses having claimed maximum points from their three matches so far as they hunt another title.
"It's always going to have to be a big reaction to play against England," Easson said.
"To play against England at Welford Road, it's going to be difficult for any side.
"They're the best team in the world. You saw what they did against a tough Ireland. So, we're going to have to turn around quite quickly, a six-day turnaround as well.
"We're going to have to brush ourselves down, look at that and really have a big step up in performance next week."
This deadline has been provided to try and agree the new PRA as quickly as possible, but the current deal has more than a year left to run until the end of the 2025-26 season.
A clause in that contract says "the WRU may terminate this agreement by giving the company no less than two years' notice in writing to expire at the end of the relevant agreement year".
That can only occur if the "Professional Rugby Board (PRB) recommends the same as part of an objective review of professional rugby". It is understood no such review has happened yet.
That policy would also not align with the desire to keep four professional sides in Wales, which was a crucial factor presented in the decision to save Cardiff.
The WRU said Welsh rugby would have been heavily penalised financially by the United Rugby Championship (URC) and European authorities if they did not continue to provide four sides for their competitions.
It is not the first deadline the WRU has set this season. In August 2024, a more stark three-hour deadline was issued to the Wales women squad during contract negotiations.
On that occasion, there was a "final offer" ultimatum, saying if they did not sign new contracts within three hours they would be withdrawn, planned matches against New Zealand, Scotland and Australia would not go ahead and they could pull the Wales women's team out of the 2025 World Cup.
The threat was not acted upon and the WRU executive leadership later apologised and accepted it was a mistake.
Six 410 winged sprint car races were run this week and a pair of drivers are approaching the 20-start plateau that will officially open the National Sprint Car Rankings.

LONG BEACH, Calif. After opening the season with the 36 Hours of Florida (aka the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring), the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship changed things up with the 100 minutes of Southern California during the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Not only was the sprint race a fraction of the length of either of the first two events, the competition was pared down to two classes: GTP and GTD.
Whats more, the tight, concrete-wall confines of the 1.968-mile street circuit posed very different challenges than the wide-open spaces of Daytona Intl Speedways hybrid road course/high-banked oval and Sebring Intl Raceways rough and tumble airport-based circuit.
More Of The Same
For all the many differences between Long Beach and the first two races of the season, the weekends GTP competition evoked a distinct sense of deja vu all over again. Once again, the BMW M Team RLL entries were fast in practice and qualifying as Dries Vanthoor in the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8 took the Bavarian marques third pole in as many tries.
Vanthoor was followed by teammate Sheldon van der Linde in the No. 25 with the No. 7 and No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963s of Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet in lockstep behind them. And when the green flag dropped, the BMWs sprinted into a one-two lead. In race trim, however, the Porsches matched the pace of the BMWs, with Tandy in particular giving van der Linde in the second-placed BMW all he could handle.
Come the one and only round of pit stops and using what is becoming a classic winning strategy at Long Beach the No. 7 did not change Michelin rubber and so emerged in the lead ahead of its stablemate while the BMWs slipped to third and fifth, sandwiching the No. 31 Cadillac Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R.
With Felipe Nasr now at the helm, the No. 7 Porsche loped to its third straight win of the season with Matt Campbell bringing the No. 6 Porsche to its second runner-up finish of the year.
No, it wasnt as easy as it looked as Nasr and Tandy both noted they had to be very careful with their energy management so as not to need a second pit stop. And yes, many challenges await beginning with WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in three weeks time. But its starting to look like its going to take something special or unexpected to derail the Porsche Penske Express.
It goes to show just what a high level the team is operating at the moment, said Tandy. Were lucky enough to be in the front three times, but if the No. 7 isnt at the front, the No. 6 is and vice-versa. Both sides of the garage are operating just flawlessly.
RINGERS
A WeatherTech Championship calendar that includes select events which feature just one of the two GTD classes GTD or GTD PRO creates an interesting dynamic, one which sees ringers from the category that otherwise has the weekend off competing. Last year, for example, Vasser Sullivan Racing doubled up for the Long Beach and Detroit events, fielding the No. 89 Lexus RC F GT3 that normally contests GTD PRO races as the No. 14, in addition to the No. 12 Lexus that ran the full standard GTD schedule. Two months later, the team flipped the script and entered both cars in the GTP/GTD PRO-only race at Detroit, with the No. 12 GTD entry rebranded as the No. 15 in GTD PRO.
In each case, the ringer gave the team and Lexus twice the chance to score a win, not to mention add to their points haul in the respective championships. A similar move paid dividends for Porsche last weekend at Long Beach, as defending GTD PRO champions AO Racing claimed top GTD honors in Saturdays race in the No. 177 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992), aka Rexy.
In some respects this encourages a two-dimensional competition, as the class regulars are focused on the proverbial big picture, i.e., the season-long competition for manufacturer, team and driver titles. In contrast, the ringers are laser-focused on individual race results and can afford to roll the dice on fuel, tire and pit stop strategies.
Such was the case at Long Beach where the AO Racing squad gambled on running an extra lap while the class leaders pitted. Thus did the No. 177 Porsche leapfrog the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus and the No. 27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO to take the GTD lead. The strategy provided AOs Laurens Vanthoor with track position so crucial at Long Beach and he was never headed.
The team made a very good decision for us not to change tires and be aggressive on the fuel side, said Vanthoor. So that was our only chance because Lexus, as we saw in the first stint, had a lot of speed. Its not easy to overtake here so we had to try to take track position and we managed that.
More Than Meets The Eye
If you were to just look at the results, Robert Wickens GTD debut was somewhat underwhelming, given that the No. 36 DXDT Racing Corvette Z06 GT3.R finished a lap down, 15th in the 16-car field. However, in reality, Wickens and co-driver Tommy Milner were on their way to a top-five or sixth-place finish before a coming-together with the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW M4 GT3 EVO at the Hairpin. The resulting damage to the Vettes bodywork eventually necessitated an unscheduled pit stop to effect repairs and led to what was an unrepresentative finish.
In fact, the DXDT Corvette was at the proverbial sharp end of the field throughout Friday and Saturday before the incident with the Turner BMW, with Wickens more than holding his own. After mechanical gremlins cost them the first third of Friday mornings hour-long practice, Milner posted a target lap which Wickens got within a couple seconds of later in the session in his first real world laps in competition in the Corvette equipped with the Bosch hand-controlled braking system.
After debriefing with the DXDT engineers and Milner, Wickens shaved three full seconds off his practice time to post the fastest lap of the second practice session, only to cause a stoppage in the session when he was unable to rejoin the track after skating down the Turn One escape road. IMSA rules dictate that a driver causing a red flag in practice will lose their fastest lap in qualifying, so Wickens went into the qualifying session knowing he had to post not one but two quick laps in order to start at or near the front of the GTD grid.
Unfortunately, any opportunity he had to repeat his practice form and challenge for the pole was dashed when he had a coming together with another competitor in Turn 9 that tweaked the DXDT Corvettes suspension. Nevertheless, he posted a couple of very respectable laps of 1:18.239 and 1:18.411, with the latter resulting in an eighth-place start given that the quicker lap was disallowed.
Wickens gained one spot on the opening lap when the No. 34 Conquest Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 had a moment, then settled into a consistent run in seventh spot before handing the car over to Milner during the races one and only pit stop.
It was pretty uneventful (but) it was good, said Wickens of his race. We stayed clean which is the most important thing. I feel like we had more pace than we showed in qualifying but, unfortunately, we paid the price in track position. But we just wanted to keep the car in one piece so Tommy could have a go!
I think we all knew this was almost going to be the worst-case scenario of learning the hand control system in the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Honestly, I even surprised myself with the pace in Free Practice 2 and the potential pace we could have had in (qualifying). In the race I felt super comfortable, and felt like I was attacking more than defending; although I didnt do a lot of attacking, but thats the nature of the this track.
Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny said on Monday he will accept being dropped for Marc-André ter Stegen if that is what coach Hansi Flick decides when the Germany international returns to full fitness.
Szczesny, 34, came out of retirement to sign for Barça last October when Ter Stegen injured his knee in a LaLiga fixture against Villarreal.
Ter Stegen was initially expected miss the rest of the season, but he returned to training ahead of schedule this month and could feature again before the campaign is up.
"Look, I am here this season to replace Marc," Szczęsny told a news conference ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
"If Marc is back and fit and the coach decides he's back in goal, I am fine with it. But I want to play. If the decision is the other way, I think Marc will understand too.
"At this moment, there is no competition because Marc is only coming back to training. He's not fully with the team. When he is available, it will be the coach's decision, not ours, and we will respect it.
"It's not uncomfortable. There's no tension between us. We both want the best outcome for the team at this crucial stage of the season."
Barça's fortunes have changed dramatically since Szczesny first came into the side in January, replacing Iñaki Peña. They are undefeated in their last 24 matches in all competitions, with the former Poland international yet to taste defeat in his 22 appearances for the club.
His contract is due to expire in the summer, but there have been reports he will sign an extension, which would see his battle for the gloves with Ter Stegen run into next season.
"We have only big games from now until the end of the season and I want to focus on playing the best football I can," he added.
"I don't want to lose energy on contract negotiations or contemplating my future.
"I want to win every trophy in front of us and leave the contract talks to the club and my agent. There is a chance they are talking, but I don't want to hear it."
Barça have already won the Spanish Supercopa with Szczesny in goal and three more trophies could follow. They are four points clear in LaLiga, in the Copa del Rey final and have a 4-0 lead going into the second leg against Dortmund.
"I like the winning," the former Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper said. "I was on the beach a few months ago, I didn't really want to play football. Now I get to play with what I believe is the best team in Europe.
"It's a little surreal for me, but the winning is nice, in the dressing room, the training sessions. It's a nice feeling, I missed that. The winning is what I enjoy the most.
"Of course I would not believe [being here]. But we're here and now I don't want to accept any other outcome. I want to win big trophies.
"This year takes me closer than ever to my dream of winning this competition. I want to take that chance. I want to focus on the last few weeks of the season to do something very special for the club and ourselves."
Barça will be without Alejandro Balde in Dortmund after the left-back injured his hamstring at the weekend, but Dani Olmo is back in the squad.
Flick said his team must not take their foot of the gas despite travelling to Germany with a big lead.
"We always want to be at our best," the Barça coach said in a news conference. "We have high quality in our team and it's our duty to show that every game.
"We play a team like Dortmund, they have strong players themselves, and here at this stadium you need to be switched on from the start.
"I am happy we won 4-0 because I know tomorrow will be a tough game. It is important the team shows how good they are; that they enjoy playing on this stage against some of the best in Europe.
"We won't take any game lightly. We want to deliver, for the fans travelling, watching at home in Barcelona and around the world."
