Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is traded before a few steps from the Playoffs. Trading is normal in MLB, and teams often trade players. But trading their leading player doesn’t seem like a normal event to any team. An Instagram post recently revealed this shocking news with a catch.

The Toronto Blue Jays performed excellently throughout the season, with Guerrero Jr. leading them. So, when they are only a few steps away from the Postseason, this trading news creates a wave of awe in fans. This specifically Yankees hater player is traded for another Dominican player from Cleveland Guardians. The twist lies in the fact that this trade doesn’t happen between these two teams.

Toronto Blue Jays’ 24-year-old DH is indeed traded for the Cleveland Guardians’ 31-year-old Third Baseman, Jose Ramirez. A shocking revelation of this fact was shared through an Instagram post from Jomboy Media. The catch is that this deal came to reality between Escogido Baseball Club and Toros Del Este. The two Dominican Winter League teams recently finalized the trade of these two players.

Players often join different national leagues during the Offseasons to keep in touch with the sport. As for the Dominican Winter League, it is a highly popular and competitive baseball league that prepares players for the upcoming MLB season. As the competitive mindset never goes away, players become equally motivated for the next MLB season. Both Jose Ramirez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are part of this league and represent two different teams.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Once Expressed His Hate For The New York Yankees?

The reason is though unknown, but the player’s hate for the Yankees is real. In April, the young star made it clear he would never join the Yankees. His interpreter said, translating his words, “It’s a personal thing. It goes back with my family. That’s my decision and I will never change that.” The hate goes to the extent that the player even said he likes to play in New York and smash the Yankees.

The reason behind his severe hatred is something very hidden, and he never sheds light on it. He hates the team so much that he would rather die than join The Yanks.
