After being very talkative during the offseason, among others towards the New York Yankees, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will have to put actions following his words. However, there are no real concerns that he will be able to do this.
And since help is never refused, Toronto Blue Jays first baseman and bench coach Don Mattingly have been very close since the start of spring camp.
Given that coach Luis Rivera is mostly focused on second and third base, as well as shortstop, Mattingly can be said to be becoming a personal trainer for Guerrero Jr.
And the darling of the Jays does not complain about it.
Since he arrived here, he has become closer to me, and I have become closer to him. Of course, I try to get advice from him, especially at first base. He can give me some tips on how to defend my position when there are runners on base. He was great with me.
Considering the 61-year-old is known as one of the best first basemen in history, the complicity certainly won’t hurt Vladimir Jr. who, despite a Golden Glove in the same position, still has things going. to learn at the first cushion.
