Broken Promises, Fractured Friendship Forces a Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Involving MLB Superstar Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., and Singer Marc Anthony's Company -- Florida Law Firm Lesser Landy Smith & Siegel Representing Plaintiff Jesse Guerrero
Guerrero filed a lawsuit against Magnus Sports, a firm co-founded by global recording artist Marc Anthony and veteran talent agent Michel Vega. Also named in the suit are former Magnus agents Barry Praver and Scott Shapiro.
According to the lawsuit, Guerrero played a key role in introducing his longtime friend, Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., to the Defendants to provide agency and management services for the rising baseball phenom's career. In return, Guerrero was quickly cut out by Magnus Sports and unpaid for his work.
In a second amended complaint, filed by the West Palm Beach-based law firm Lesser, Landy, Smith & Siegel, PLLC, and pending in the Southern District of Florida, consists of nine causes of action, including breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraudulent misrepresentation, and tortious interference with business relationships.
"Our client lived up to his end of the deal and delivered as promised," said Gary S. Lesser, Managing Partner of Lesser, Landy, Smith & Siegel, PLLC. "The Defendants chose to not honor the agreement and not pay our client what he's due. Major League Baseball is big business. This is a high-dollar dispute, and we will fight and collect what our client deserves."
Guerrero maintains that the Defendants did not honor their agreement with him, leading to a falling out between all the key players involved in the suit. A copy of the recent amended complaint can be obtained here.

Westmount qualifies for exemption from high-density development requirements, former mayors say
Montreal Politics By Westmount Mayor Christina Smith says the municipality is open to tweaking its controversial redevelopment plan for its southeast sector, bordering downtown Montreal, before it goes to a vote in September, but critics are demanding that she invoke Westmount's designation as an exceptional heritage sector to prevent highrise development. 'We're probably going to see some slight modifications, for sure,' Smith told The Gazette last week. She was referring to continued opposition from residents to a proposed seven- to 12-storey development on Dorchester Blvd., across from Victorian row houses that are characteristic of Westmount, and to a proposed row of four 20-storey towers on Ste-Catherine St. W., just west of Atwater Ave. 'We heard a lot of feedback ... so we're continuing to debate that,' she said. One idea came from a resident at a public meeting on the plan in June, Smith said. Jonathan Wener, founder and chairman of real-estate company Canderel, told the meeting that four 20-storey highrises on Ste-Catherine is 'too much mass' and suggested two 25- to 30-storey highrises instead. 'That may not even be feasible, but that's something that some people are now asking for,' Smith said. 'Where I don't think we need to go is there's a call to scrap it all together and let the next council deal with that.' However, former Westmount mayors Peter Trent and Karin Marks are asking why Westmount hasn't invoked its designation as an exceptional heritage sector to get an exemption from higher building-density requirements that are to be introduced next year by the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) and that Smith has cited as the impetus for Westmount to include several highrise towers in the southeast sector plan. 'Westmount's heritage designation clearly allows it to claim an exemption from density thresholds,' Trent and Marks conclude in a July 20 letter to the members of Westmount city council that was copied to The Gazette. 'You now have the obligation to correct the serious misinformation that was given to citizens.' The former mayors oppose the redevelopment proposal for the southeast sector, produced for the municipality by architecture firm Lemay, saying in their letter that the heights being proposed for Ste-Catherine, in particular, will 'result in a cheek-by-jowl series of highrise towers like the Square Children's (at Atwater Ave. and René-Lévesque Blvd.); a form, with the exception of the short-lived 1960s highrise delirium, that is antithetical to Westmount's built heritage.' Marks and Trent contend that Smith, the civil service and the Lemay firm misinformed the public by stating that Westmount is obliged to respect a new minimum density of 480 dwellings per hectare that's in the CMM's new 2026-2046 metropolitan land-use plan, and by omitting to mention the exemption available to Westmount. Smith has publicly said that Westmount must respect the density requirement in the CMM plan, adopted on June 9, for 'hypercentre' transit-oriented development zones, such as the Atwater métro area. But Trent and Marks point out that the new and old CMM land-use plans allow exemptions from its density requirements under special circumstances. The circumstances include 'the need to protect sectors with heritage components of interest where densification could compromise cultural, historical or natural values,' the new CMM plan states. The Montreal agglomeration council, which includes the City of Montreal and all island suburbs, would have to request the exemption on behalf of Westmount. However, the CMM delegates responsibility to the agglomeration to identify heritage sectors requiring protection on the island, Trent notes. And the agglomeration's land-use plan designates Westmount's entire southeast sector — and almost all of the municipality, for that matter — as a 'sector of exceptional heritage.' The agglomeration land-use plan also provides for exemptions from minimum density requirements, including for 'an area of exceptional value, or an area of significant value' as indicated on the plan's heritage map. The map is where Westmount is categorized as 'exceptional heritage.' However, Smith maintains that Westmount is obliged to respect the CMM's density requirements and has a legal opinion from an urban-planning lawyer to back that up. 'We did our homework,' she said. 'We can't opt out. I'm disagreeing with his (Trent's) notion that we have no obligation to do this. We have checked with the CMM, we've checked with the (agglomeration), I've called in outside legal counsel. ... We've asked every which way on this.' Smith suggested that other legal protections exist for historic properties in Westmount's southeast sector, including provincial heritage protection for the Congrégation-de-Notre-Dame motherhouse now occupied by Dawson College. A Westmount bylaw on site planning and architectural integration requires council approval for projects that affect the exterior of properties, she added. The CMM exemption clause is applicable to densification that could compromise cultural, historical and natural values, Smith said. 'At this point, no one could claim that what we are doing in the southeast would be compromising historical values.' However, Trent disagrees with Smith's interpretation. 'The argument fails the minute you open up the agglomeration (land-use plan),' he said. 'The fact that individual buildings are protected (by additional laws and bylaws) is irrelevant.' Westmount plans to adopt the southeast sector plan and a bylaw amending its master plan to accommodate it at its last council meeting on Sept. 8. Trent, Marks and other critics of Westmount's southeast sector redevelopment proposal have argued that Westmount council should postpone its vote until after the municipal election on Nov. 2. However, whether the plan is approved before or after the election may be up to the Montreal administration of Mayor Valérie Plante. That's because the agglomeration, where Montreal has a majority, must approve changes to the master plan of any municipality on the island to ensure they comply with the agglomeration's land-use plan, Montreal spokesperson Gonzalo Nunez said. The agglomeration council delegated power to the Montreal city executive committee to issue 'certificates of conformity' for master plan changes, he said. The Montreal executive committee will continue to meet weekly into October, he added. 'It is impossible to specify when the executive committee will rule on the compliance of the city of Westmount's bylaw,' Nunez said. 'The deadline will depend on the date on which the adopted bylaw is submitted to the agglomeration. The file will then be submitted to the executive committee for approval or disapproval of the bylaw, within a maximum of 120 days.' This story was originally published

‘Riding the hype': Fans paying a premium to see first-place Toronto Blue Jays
TORONTO – Heather Gardiner couldn't give her seats away. The Blue Jays owned a record under .500 back in the spring, and looked poised for another middling campaign with little playoff hope. Things then drastically turned around on the field. Toronto now sits first in the American League East. And tickets are a hot commodity — often at a hefty price. Getting into Rogers Centre to see Canada's only Major League Baseball team has quickly morphed into a costly endeavour this summer that has surprised some fans. A recent sold-out series against the New York Yankees saw the cheapest seats on resale sites going for more than $200 apiece, while a ticket in the 500 level for Friday's series-opener with the Kansas City Royals was in the neighbourhood of $80 as of Wednesday afternoon — more than double face value. Gardiner and her family have two season tickets near the visitors dugout. The tech consultant, who's had seats since Toronto's 2015 playoff run, sold most of her extras at cost to friends last season. After the Jays' underwhelming start to 2025, interest dropped to near zero. 'We were posting on social media three days before a game saying, 'We can't make it and if you want the tickets let me know and they're yours,'' Gardiner said. 'They were free and people weren't taking them.' Toronto's surge up the standings signalled a drastic shift across the ticket market. Fans can make purchases directly from the team through Ticketmaster, while the website also has verified resale options — usually at an inflated price — similar to other big-hitters like SeatGeek and StubHub when supply is scarce. Jagger Long, who runs Toronto-based resale website Karma Tickets, said a number of factors, including summer holidays, tourism and a winning team are contributing to the spikes. 'We're riding the hype of the Jays,' he said. 'People are spending the money. If they weren't, the prices would come down.' A multi-million dollar renovation of Rogers Centre that improved sightlines, added more bars, communal areas and other amenities has also raised the stakes, Long said. 'They've done a great job of turning it into more of a social event,' he said. That mainly happens in the common areas where general admission tickets — standing room, without a seat — can be purchased for a face value of roughly $20. But those tickets — along with blocks of seats in the 500s — are often snapped up by scalpers or fellow fans looking to make a quick buck, Long said. General admission seats for Toronto's opener against Kansas City were priced around $50 and up for resale Wednesday. 'People are watching the market,' said Long, who added website algorithms can boost prices automatically when tickets are at a premium. 'Even average fans, professional ticket sellers, part-time ticket sellers, they watch. They treat it like a part-time job or a full-time job.' The Jays said in a statement the club encourages fans to plan ahead and purchase tickets well in advance of games. The team noted there are plenty of seats available for series later in August and September. Long agreed getting tickets early is the best practice, but added scanning resale options for popular games can still garner good results. 'Jot down the price and then go back in a few days,' he said. 'If the prices haven't really moved, that's an indicator … you eventually might find a hidden gem.' The face value of Gardiner's tickets sit at just over $100 each per game. She hasn't looked to make a profit in the past, but sold for as much as $350 apiece for the Yankees series, and got $450 this weekend. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Prices for season-ticket holders jumped significantly following the Rogers Centre renovations. Gardiner said she knows a number of fellow fans — including some with tickets since Day 1 back in 1977 at Exhibition Stadium — who have gone that route to maintain their small pieces of baseball real estate. The financial calculus of attending Jays games aside, Gardiner said the energy at the ballpark is comparable to when she first bought in a decade ago. 'It's like being there in 2015,' she said. 'There was something different, and that's what it's feeling like in that building. 'Everyone keeps saying it's like a playoff game. It is electric.'
