Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro saw a young star committed to taking ownership of his career.
“It’s going great,” Shapiro said when asked about how Guerrero’s off-season is going during an appearance on The Starting Lineup on Thursday. “Ross [Atkins] is down there now and met with Vladdy. When I talked to Ross on the phone the other night, Ross was blown away. He said he’s getting after it, he couldn’t be pushing himself harder.
“Vladdy has talked about it. And I’m certainty comfortable talking about that. We’re being very clear. He knows he has to come in in overall better condition,” Atkins said on Oct. 1. “And he has a plan to do that. He is committed to it. We have helped him construct it. It’s really clear. It’s a very clear plan that if he executes — and if we execute, we’ll be accountable for that as well, if we can do that together — he’ll be at a much better place.
“I think we all know and recognize that if he does do that, if he takes care of that piece of his business, the other aspects of his baseball playing are going to certainly fall in line and continue to get better and we’re going to have a special player on our hands.”
BlueJays FAN590 Too bad he is on a team with poor upper management. If he was on another team where management is focused on the players. Vlady would be better off.
BlueJays FAN590 Too bad he's on a team that only works to make money and not good baseball teams. Vladdy coulda been a superstar
