Is Texas Rangers prospect Pablo Guerrero related to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.?

The Guerrero baseball family continues to grow as the Texas Rangers announced the signing of international prospect Pablo Guerrero. Pablo is the son of Hall of Fame slugger Vladimir Guerrero and is also the brother of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Pablo is one of the eight children of Vladimir Guerrero, and may not be the last of the family to transition into professional baseball. Pablo Guerrero's 12-year-old cousin Wilton Guerrero Jr. has been seen taking batting practice as well.

The teenager, who has played both third base and in the outfield, trains in the Dominican Republic with his uncle Wilton Guerrero. While he is still young, fans are buzzing over his swing in comparison to his brother and father. If he follows the same trajectory as his brother, Pablo may be another star from the Guerrero baseball family.

"The #Rangers have signed 16-year-old international free agent Pablo Guerrero, the son of Vlad Sr., per @BenBadler and @hgomez27. This was his swing at age 12, compared to his dad and big brother, Vlad Jr. Clearly runs in the family." - John Sparaco

Pablo is not the only international prospect signed by the Texas Rangers with ties to Major League Baseball. The Rangers already have the younger brother of All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. in their Minor League ranks, Luisangel Acuna.
