And given this immense success, most MLB stars crave for an opportunity to play for the Bronx Bombers during their career. But the Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. does not feel that way. 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has made his dislike for the Yankees clear for a long time now. But he recently made a bold comment that led to backlash from fans of the New York-based team. However, his father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., an MLB Hall of Famer, recently weighed in on the situation and stated what he told his son.
