Even with the suggestions of Vladdy potentially being the centerpiece of a four-way swap to the Mariners just in time for the MLB deadline in a couple of weeks, the son of the reputed Hall Of Famer is still just as excited about this year’s All Star Game as he was last night when his former teammate Teoscar Hernandez took home the Home Run Derby title.
At just 25 years old, Guerrero Jr. is well on his way to matching his father’s All Star fly, with already four All Star Game appearances, including his first in 2021 where he made history as the youngest to be voted as the All Star MVP. Ironically, the then 22-year-old also landed second in votes as the American League MVP as well. The former top Minor League prospect who earned $3.8 million to sign with Toronto at only 16 years oldis now half-way up the ladder to reaching his dad, Guerrero Sr’s nine-time All Star game appearances.
In an exclusive interview with TheSource.com, Guerrero Jr. sits down to delve into the impact that the Latin and Caribbean Leagues had on his dream to play baseball, who he’s looking forward to playing with and against on the diamond during the All Star Game and even his health regimen, which he gives substantial credit to his new sponsor, BodyArmor Sports Drink.
