Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seeks guidance from his father after tough season
Summary

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. plans to work with his father, Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., in the Dominican Republic to improve after a disappointing 2026 season. Guerrero Jr. signed a 14-year, $500 million contract last April but posted the worst numbers of his career with a.688 OPS. He has also undergone laser eye surgery to enhance his vision at the plate. With the Blue Jays missing the postseason, the stakes are high for both player and franchise to rebound in 2027.
