If I were in his position, I wouldn’t budge either. Another team will undoubtedly meet his price. This is what happens when an organization operates like a complete joke, with a propaganda-driven media arm boasting about its willingness to pay incoming free agents, yet refusing to invest in retaining its homegrown talent.
Fans like you would be the leading the lynch mob if they gave Vladdy hundreds of millions of dollars after declining performance for 3 straight seasons and a 1.3 WAR season in 2023.

The players the Jays offered that money to are much more consistent than Vlad has ever shown in his career.

Problem is, he THINKS he's as good as they are and over values himself.
