Cool Story, Vlad Jr - But I'm Not Buying It!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“Yo! I know you saw what Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said. You think he’s gonna wear pinstripes next season?”

That is the text message I woke up to the other morning. A buddy of mine back on Long Island is holding out hope that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has a big change of heart and is indeed open to wearing pinstripes even though in the past he has said “I would never sign with the Yankees, not even (when I’m) dead.” 

It all goes back to his dad Vladimir Guerrero‘s playing days. He spent 16 years in the big leagues and was never a Yankee. Clearly Vlad Jr. has deep feelings about how the Yankees treated his father back in the day. He has never given an explanation, all he’s said about it was “It’s a family thing” and that he made a promise to his father, read more HERE.
So cool, Vlad Jr. is going to carry around daddy’s chip on his shoulder. Now suddenly, with one more season before he becomes a free agent, he has had a change of heart and is willing to talk to all 30 teams about a deal, including the Yankees. Suddenly the family diss doesn’t matter. 

Or does it? Look, I don’t think Vlad Jr. has changed his opinion on the Yankees. It’s still the same. He’s just approaching this smartly. He’s right, this is a business. How smart would it be for him to just completely cut off a team with deep pockets and a storied franchise? It’s not smart at all. It limits some of his market value. If he tells the Yankees, it isn’t a possibility, and the Yankees don’t pursue, he limits his market. That’s not a smart business move.

So, I just don’t buy this at all. He’s got a chip on his shoulder, and it is going to stay there. He did say “I like to play in New York. I like to kill the Yankees. I would never sign with the Yankees, not even (when I’m) dead,” and he is alive and kicking. They say perception is reality, and his perception is the Yankees did his daddy wrong and he’s not about to let that go. I don’t see Vlad Jr. as being ready to ‘forgive and forget’ as he has been saying lately. He’s felt this way for most of his 36-year-old life…. he’s not just suddenly going to have a change of heart.

He’s approaching this in a business manner. He’s not going to publicly cut the Yankees off again so close to free agency. He wants as much money bidding on him as possible. The Yankees have a lot of that, so he’s not stupid. If he really wants to stick it to the Yankees, he’s going to look for the big dollar offers from Yankee rivals like the Red Sox or even the Mets now.

It’s a cool story you are trying to sell bro, but I ain’t buying it. We need someone who is going to focus their energy into helping this team win, not someone who wants to avenge his daddy. I couldn’t care less about Vlad Jr. Just my two cents…. but he’s not moving on like he says he is.
