After saying in the past that he'd 'never sign with the Yankees,' Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said he's more open to the possibility of playing for New York.
Guerrero was asked Monday night if he'd reconsider past comments with the Blue Jays languishing in last place in the American League East -- 16 games behind the Yankees -- and the trade deadline looming July 30.
"Sometimes one says things. It is not that I am trying to take back what I said about the Yankees," Guerrero toldon Monday."But this is a business. I sat down and spoke with my dad and my family, and this is a business. And I said I would never again talk about this topic and lots of people have asked me about it."
In 2022, Guerrero said he'd"never sign with the Yankees -- not even dead." In 2023, he told the New York Post that it was"a personal thing that goes back with my family. ... I would never change that.""Like I tell you, I'm a player and if a team picks me or if they do something, it's because they need it, obviously, and I'll be happy to help any team," Guerrero Jr. told Virus Deportivo on Monday.
