Baseball has a funny way of flipping the script. And well, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sure knows a thing or two about it. His blockbuster deal with the Toronto Blue Jays is now under scrutiny, and just when things seemed to take a turn for the better, it’s all at ground zero again.
Just a day after lifting the Blue Jays to a thrilling 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees with a clutch go-ahead two-run single, Guerrero Jr. found himself on the opposite side of the emotional spectrum. On Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre, the story was different, and it ended with one frustrated slugger and a broken bat.
It unraveled in the middle innings, when the Jays were trailing 2-0 behind the Yankees. Guerrero came up in a key moment with a chance to flip the momentum, but yet again, no magic.
WOW: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shows his frustration, SNAPPING HIS BAT like a toothpick.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. clearly frustrated, walked away from the plate, and he snapped his bat clean in two. It was a visual sight of what he had really been feeling—agitated. And why not? He is supposed to be the face of the franchise. Someone whom the Jays were supposed to build the team around. And yet here he is—cracking under pressure—and the sound of wood is a powerful metaphor for the weight he has been carrying this season.
