It continues to amaze me how over rated Vlad is among what seems like a large portion of Jays fans. It's like they haven't been watching the last 6 years of his MLB career. You reserve those type of contracts for players you can actually build a team around, not a guy who plays a non premium position (and doesn't play it well either), has negative value as a baserunner, and is a very inconsistent hitter who seems easy to fool and struggles to make adjustments.
Not only that but he's got red flags galore with his body type and how he will age going forward.
