Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has made his name playing for the Toronto Blue Jays, which means he has gotten plenty of exposure to New York. The Yankees are a division rival, and also regarded as a destination for many of the game’s stars.
Not Guerrero, however. In a new interview with radio personality El Dotol Nastra, Guerrero said he would “never” sign with the Yankees — even if he were dead.

Guerrero is probably playing things up a bit here, but it sure sounds like his mind is made up. He won’t even be a free agent until after 2025 at the earliest, so Yankees fans probably never should have started to dream anyway.
Of course, given their budding rivalry, the Yankees might not have a great opinion of Guerrero either. He probably heard about what the team’s TV announcer had to say about him, after all.
