About 10 minutes after the formal ceremony to announce a contract extension that will keep him in Canada for 14 more years, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and his extended family made their way to centre field at the Rogers Centre.

During negotiations, Guerrero said he consulted with members of his family, particularly his father —Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero—and his daughter. She was steadfast about Guerrero remaining with the Blue Jays longterm, so it was an emotional moment when she found out that was likely going to be the case.
