Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to take part in MLB Home Run Derby
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has listened to Toronto Blue Jays fans – and his family – and is returning to Major League Baseball’s home-run derby.
“My family, they’ve been asking me for the last two years to participate,” said Guerrero after taking batting practice at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Thursday. “They asked me again this year and I said ‘Okay, if you guys want me to go, I’ll be there this year.’” The 24-year-old Blue Jays first baseman said he’s not worried about strategy or who he might face in the three-round, single-elimination tournament.
“I’ve been recruited. I’ll be making the trip. Try not to mess it up,” said Schneider, joking that if Guerrero wins the prize money he hopes for a generous tip. “He asked me a couple days ago, so it’s pretty cool.Guerrero is off to a slow start this season with 11 home runs in 78 games. In 2021, he tied for the league lead with 48 home runs, following that up with 32 last year.“I think it’s just cool for him to be in that environment with the best players in the world,” said Schneider.
