Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays were unable to agree on a contract extension and the slugger will become a free agent after the 2025 MLB season.

The two sides had set Monday as a deadline to get a deal done. Guerrero had a very simple explanation for why they weren't able to agree on an extension: "They had their numbers, I had my numbers."

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. tells reporters in Dunedin, Fla. that he did not agree to an extension with the Blue Jays.

"They had their numbers, I had my numbers."

Instead, he's headed for free agency after the season at age 26.
