Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr isn’t just swinging for the fences—he’s swinging for family legacy.
The 25-year-old powerhouse, fresh off a jaw-dropping $500m deal (the third biggest in MLB history), says he’s on a mission.
“My goal is to win a World Series and give the ring to my dad.”
It’s a storybook setup. His father, Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr, spent years chasing a championship with the Montreal Expos but never got the ring.
Now, his son—born in Montreal, raised in the Dominican Republic—is on the verge of bringing it home.
Toronto’s Beloved Slugger
Guerrero Jr has been crowned MVP in the division series.
He has become the face of Toronto’s long-awaited return to the World Series after 32 years.
Fans adore him not just for his monster hits, but for his heart.
“He’s a big kid who happens to be a superstar—and he chose us,” said podcaster Rob Silver.
Off the field, Guerrero lives with his grandmother, speaks to fans in English, and proudly wears Toronto gear—even a Maple Leafs jersey for luck.
Whether or not the Jays topple the Dodgers, one thing’s clear: for Vladdy Jr, this isn’t just baseball. It’s destiny.
