He said he’ll head to the Canadian team’s camp in Dunedin, Florida for extended training prior to his return to the Major Leagues. “God willing I’m going to Florida for training next Monday or Tuesday to get me ready before going to the Minors and later join the Major League team.”

Guerrero, 37 years, has homered 449 times in 16 seasons in the Majors, hitting .290 with 13 homeruns and 63 RBIs for the Orioles last year.

Hope he stays healthy and bangs out 51 HR and 300 or so RBI. His batting average of .318 might see a drop, but if he get's those other numbers, he's a sure bet to go into HOF.

The late 90's and early 00's were the best of times!!! The homerun chase was great. Baseball should do something to raise the homerun numbers again.

This guy doesn't have much left in the tank. If he doesn't show anything this year, he will be released before the season is over. Good thing he has a lot of money.

Thats because there were so many homerun hitters on steroids. There were not having that anymore , to many cheaters in sports now in days , even in football look at the new england patriots got caught recording there opponents playcalls , and now the new orleans saints got caught holding bounties on players last year , theres no room for cheaters in sports.

UPDATE: It’s all over. The Blue Jays have released Vlad Guerrero, at his request. He is a free agent.

12:00 PM: One reporter is saying that Vlad Guerrero is done, but Vlad’s agent is saying no way, nothing is further from the truth. Perchance there is something in between here? Enrique Rojas says there is: he has left the Jays’ Triple-A team in Las Vegas and has given the team an ultimatum:

After going 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs for Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Guerrero gathered his belongings and went to his home in Anaheim, Calif.

“Guerrero is ready to play today in the big leagues,” a source close to the nine-time All-Star said.

So maybe he is done. Maybe he isn’t. Guerrero was eligible to opt-out of his minor league deal as of yesterday. He has taken the first step towards doing that, it seems. Whether it’s accomplished depends on how the Blu
