The Hall of Famer’s son declared he wouldn’t sign a contract to play for the New York Yankees, “not even [when I’m] dead.”
He restated his position a few months later, claiming that it was “a personal thing” that “goes back with my family.”
But it appears like the three-time All-Star has had a change of heart as the Blue Jays struggle and the trade deadline approaches.
In addition to working and being a professional, I also play on the field. You speak stuff occasionally. Not that I’m attempting to retract anything I said regarding it.
I don’t hold back what I said about the Yankees, but this is a business,” Guerrero said to a Spanish-speaking outlet Monday at Fenway Park in Boston. “I sat down and spoke with my dad and my family, and this is a business. … Like I tell you, I’m a player, and if a team picks me or if they do something, it’s because they need it, obviously, and I’ll be happy to help any team. But right now, I’m just focused on helping my team try to get out of this bad streak.”
