He's a top 15 player being asked to be paid like a top 5 player...honestly think it's as simple as that.
The 3 guys he's comparing himself to are Judge, Soto, and Ohtani...and let's be serious that Ohtani contract isn't even comparable due to the pitching aspect.
So really it's 2 guys
Soto: 26 WAR the last 4 seasons, $51M
Judge: 31.9 WAR the last 4 seasons, $40M
Guerrero: 18.9 WAR the past 4 seasons
So really he's not in the same realm as those guys right now, but seems like he wants to be paid like it.
