Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Open to Signing with Yankees Despite Past Comments

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. revealed on Saturday that he will consider all 30 teams, including the New York Yankees, when he reaches free agency this winter. This marks a significant departure from his previous stance, where he vowed never to play for the Yankees due to an experience involving his father. Guerrero emphasized that he has moved past those comments and is open to discussions with any team interested in signing him.
​
In 2022, Guerrero made headlines by declaring, "I would never sign with the Yankees, not even when I'm dead," and had repeatedly expressed his refusal to join the team. He attributed his decision to family reasons. However, during his recent interview with the New York Post, Guerrero stated through an interpreter, "If I go to free agency, every team -- all 30 teams -- are going to have the opportunity to sit down with [me], to talk to me. I'm OK with everything. It's in the past." Guerrero's openness to new possibilities signals a potential shift in the free agency landscape as teams prepare to make their pitches.
