Vlad over rates himself if he thinks he deserves 585 million. It's not the Jays fault he isn't signed, it's his fault because as I said, he over rates himself.

I disagree with you on some points. Yes maybe not upper level for consistency.
The stats ignore that guerrro is lot younger than judge and ohtani. As well my point that he is inconsistent. Young players are inconsistent. When he is on top player in league not many have that upside. Some adjustment for consistency is not unheard of. The prices are rising everywhere not just in baseball.
Maybe short term is a solution?
He might not be 500 mil but price has gone up. What is the market? What is the premium to stay in Toronto? It's not a destination. Jays obviously agree he is worth 450.
The team is better with him we won't get a better player.
