He’s only been in the majors for a few years now, but the legend of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is already growing.
This is only his third season in the big leagues but he’s already a legitimate MVP candidate. He leads the AL in hits with 104 and RBI’s with 73. This dude is a legitimate stud.
He also might be clairvoyant, apparently? At least, that’s what it seemed like when the Blue Jays played the Mariners.
Vlad Jr. made it to first base on a walk and was chatting it up on base with Mariners’ first baseman, Ty France. France joked that Vlad Jr. should try to steal the base.
He told him he didn’t have to. Why? Because his teammate, Randal Grichuk, was about to hit a double. And he was going to score from first.
That’s exactly what happened.

“France: Now you’ve got to steal second. Come on. You tell them not to pick off.
Guerrero Jr.: I can’t, bro. Now Grichuk is about to hit a double…I’ll probably score. Probably.”
This guy, man. What a legend. France put it perfectly.
“He just told me Grichuk’s going to hit a double and I’m going to score from first. That’s exactly what he just don’t me. A man of his word.”
Seems to be that way.
