New York Mets have signed 16-year-old Vladi Miguel Guerrero, the older brother of Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero.
The younger Guerrero was one of the players signed by the Mets when the international signing period opened on Monday.
According to The Athletic’s Will Sammon, Guerrero is an outfielder/first baseman with medium power to the left side of the plate.
Samson said the Mets must come to an agreement with the youngster when the signing period opens.
The New York Mets have signed infielder Vladi Miguel Guerrero from the Dominican Republic, the company announced in a press conference on Monday.
According to Frances Romero, Guerrero will receive a $100,000 signing bonus.
The Mets expect to sign 20 players on Monday, including four players in MLB Pipeline’s top 50 in the world, according to Metsmerized’s Mike Mayer.
Vladi Miguel is Guerrero’s third son to sign with an MLB club, while Pablo Guerrero signed with the Texas Rangers signed a $97,500 contract through 2023.
If he’s anything like his father or brother — who had 449 hits and 130 major league hits, respectively — the Mets may have found a great addition to their roster going forward.
Vladi Miguel is 16 years old and could serve as an outside hitter or starter as his career progresses.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a Dominican Canadian professional made his grand debut in April this year.
Although Vladimir has a very busy personal life, he has three daughters, Vleidy, Vlaimi and Sofia. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was born in Montreal. He has a wealthy family.
He is the son of Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr. Riquelma learned French in Montreal and moved to the Dominican Republic with her son.
The couple often spent time in Montreal, where Riquelma lived with her father. Like his father, Guerrero Jr. was the most important player in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league complex.
Guerrero Jr.’s father honed his skills in the minor leagues before pitching in the majors. Guerrero Jr. often accompanied his father to baseball games.
Guerrero hit his first major league home run on May 14, 2003. A notice was sent to MLB.
Vladimir Guerrero has another son signed with the New York Mets. Vladi Miguel Guerrero, the 16-year-old son of the Hall of Famer, signed a contract during Monday’s international signing period that includes $117,000 signing bonus and a $60,000 bonus, according to Z101 Digital reporter Héctor Gomez.
He is one of 20 players the Mets plan to sign on Monday, according to Metsmerized’s Mike Mayer. Guerrero is not considered the same as his older brother, Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
However, scouts who spoke to several reporters, including Joel Sherman of the New York Post and Will Salmon of the Athletic, praised the Dominican Republic player’s condition.
