He said:&quot;It’s a personal thing. It goes back with my family. That’s my decision and I will never change that.&quot;It has been reported that the younger Guerrero's disdain for the Yankees stems from the team not pursuing his father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., in free agency in 2003. New York was seeking a slugging outfielder, but went for Gary Sheffield instead.It probably doesn't hurt that the Toronto Blue Jays are one of the fiercest Yankees rivals in recent years, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being his team's main mouthpiece.Nick@InaudibleShoutX@TalkinYanks I cannot stop laughing at this dude acting like he’s walked off the world series every time he gets an XBH or records an out against us.

This is putting the team's fans in some sort of odd stasis. New York hasn't been bad, but it hasn't exactly been good, either. Yankees supporters are trapped in a glass case of emotion. Many fans are choosing to switch the game off rather than fret their way through nine innings.Dylan@Dyl168@TalkinYanks Team isn’t worth spending valuable time watching2@TalkinYanks Team isn’t worth spending valuable time watching𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙨𝙤𝙣@MeltonSZN@TalkinYanks Doesn’t count we’re all watching the Knicks8@TalkinYanks Doesn’t count we’re all watching the KnicksOnly Anthony Rizzo's solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning kept the New York Yankees from being shutout on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Bronx.
