Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Personal Announcement Made Away From Blue Jays

Away from the field, Guerrero’s influence extends well beyond Canada and the Blue Jays organization.

He grew up in the Dominican Republic, raised primarily by his mother and grandparents in Santiago and Don Gregorio while his father played baseball for the Montreal Expos.

On September 1, Guerrero decided to give back to his hometown in a meaningful way. An announcement revealed that he personally decided to sponsor an entire festival taking place on Tuesday.

The flyer highlights multiple music artists performing at the event, likely supported by Guerrero himself.

This event is clearly special to him. In just the first year of his 14-year, $500 million contract, he is already putting that platform to use to give back to the people and places that shaped him.

His country means everything to him, as evidenced by his decision to compete for the Dominican Republic at this year’s World Baseball Classic.

As Guerrero continues to make a difference off the field, his focus is still on the Blue Jays and their playoff push, where he knows he has to turn it around.
