Guerrero Jr.’s promotion 'big moment' for Jays organization. Scott Mitchell (ScottyMitchTSN) has more:
After a few days of guessing games, the Blue Jays officially announced Wednesday evening that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be called up for his much-anticipated MLB debut, which will come Friday in front of the home fans at Rogers Centre against the Oakland A’s.
Prior to the announcement, Vladdy Jr. went out with a bang in Triple-A on Wednesday during matinee game in Syracuse, crushing a no-doubt opposite field home run, the 44th minor-league bomb of his career.The 20-year-old’s next round-tripper will be in The Show. “Just relax and play, like I told him in spring training,” Montoyo said. “Do your best, and he will.”Initially, the calls for Guerrero’s promotion began 11 months ago in June when the Montreal-born right-handed hitter was two months into tearing apart Double-A, already proving that Triple-A was simply going to be a roadside bathroom break on the way to the majors.
Guerrero missing a month of baseball in the majors last September and a couple weeks to start the 2019 season means the Jays will have him through 2025.
