T.O.
If the Jays are not in the race approaching the deadline, sell JD to the highest bidder and let Vladdy take his spot starting this season.

yeah but you could maybe get a discount on free agent years if you do it early.

I want this kid to be a jay for life.

Two things:

1) The kid already comes from a wealthy family so financial security may not be as paramount for him as other prospects.

2) He's extremely confident in his own ability, so he may just want to bet on himself for a big payday.

Usually when prospects sign these deals they trade potential future earnings for security up front, knowing that anything could happen (injury, under performance, etc). Not sure Bo or Vlad fall into either camp but I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
