Blue Jays MVP Makes Guerrero Jr. Statement
With Guerrero Jr. playing better, the Blue Jays look like they will have a real chance to get into the 2026 MLB playoffs.
In a recent episode of Get It Done League, Blue Jays legend Josh Donaldson spoke about Guerrero Jr.
Donaldson: “I also hate to beat a dead horse, but guess who showed up in that Cleveland series? Vlad Guerrero. Vlad Guerrero shows up and you could just see, like after he hits the homer, everybody else, it’s like almost they take a deep breath. All right, our guy’s here right now. And so he’s the biggest difference maker on that team. That’s why we keep talking about it so much. And he shows why. He goes and has a big series, they win. If he’s not performing the way that he does, they lose. You know what I’m saying? So he is that big factor.”
Looking At Guerrero Jr.
Guerrero Jr. is in the middle of his 8th season at the MLB level.
The six-time All-Star is batting .261 with 126 hits, eight home runs, 54 RBIs, 67 runs and seven stolen bases in 128 games.
