The Mets release Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s younger brother

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the son of Vladimir Guerrero, who also enjoyed a glorious career in Major League Baseball. We got to know him with the Expos, but he also had some great years with the Angels.

He was a spectacular player.

But Vlad Jr. isn't his father's only son. In fact, Guerrero is the father of eight children, including some who are also pursuing a career in baseball.

Among them is Vladi Miguel Guerrero, who signed with the Mets in January 2024. At the time, we wondered if this was a way to lure the Blue Jays star to the Big Apple, which didn't happen.

And now, in the last few days, the Mets have decided to cut ties with their Guerrero. Hector Gomez reported the news.

The young Guerrero, who turned 19 a few months ago, clearly hasn't been able to make himself indispensable to the Mets. He hasn't exactly been dominant in the Dominican Republic (batting line of .210/.329/.285 in two seasons), and now the Mets have decided to cut ties with him.

Would they have done so if Guerrero Jr. were with the club or if he were a free agent? The question remains.

We'll have to see if another team takes a chance on Vladi Guerrero. It's worth remembering that a few years ago, Vlad Jr. claimed that his younger brother was better than him at the same age… although obviously, his development didn't follow the same path as that of the Blue Jays star.

To be continued.
