Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is under fire this season—batting just .264 with seven homers and 46 RBIs, far below expectations for a six-time All-Star. Critics aren’t just focused on his stats, but also his game-day demeanor, especially after a recent concussion sidelined him for seven days. Fans and analysts are asking why the Blue Jays aren’t more vocal in holding him accountable, despite his massive contract. Meanwhile, the team’s playoff hopes hang by a thread, sitting 13 games behind first place in the AL East with a 64-67 record—and fighting for that final wildcard spot. Yet, even amid the slump, the manager still backs him as one of the team’s best, as Guerrero went 2-for-5 in a crucial 4-3 win over the Yankees to even the series.
