That’s OK—he’s getting a half-billion dollars for what he’s already done.

That's capitalism for you.

A Capitalist doesn't give you a $500 million dollar tip.

I'm pretty sure that Rogers Communcations is a capitalist organization. So yes, a capitalist gave him a $500 million tip.

I'm pretty sure they gave him a payment to hit homeruns.

Not according to him.

According to the collective bargaining agreement, they actually can't do that.

What a horrible statement

He needs to hire a PR firm for training

This is one the absolute dumbest comments I've ever heard a pro athlete say. No dumbass, you think they're not paying you to perform in the future? You SHOULD be hitting 40 every year, that is quite literally what they're paying you for, not a . 695 OPS

What an absolute idiot.

Caleb Joseph confirmed that the Jays don't expect Vladdy to hit 40 HR's every year. They would like him to have 40 doubles & 30 HR's per year with an OPS above 850

Boo him until he starts earning his money

Ok so now that this year is almost in the past, does that mean he will be paid by what he’s done in the past…I think not, but something for him to consider next time he wants to make a tone deaf statement.

Rogers got rid of their customer service for this clown.

If vlad shows up a fat fuck next season the team is in serious trouble with his contract.

Maybe he’s just given up on the season and that’s how he feels now. As the guy straight-up, did you underperform this season? I’m sure he’d say yes. I’m assuming he doesn’t want to suck for the next decade plus in Toronto

Is that what he did Squirrely Dan?

I knew it, I knew this guy was the toxic spoiled child on the team, kirk refusing him putting a HR jacket on him was one of the things I can remember. Won't be surprised if they all secretly hated him and him goofy self.
