Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to enter free agency after the 2025 season with the Toronto Blue Jays .

The star slugger revealed on Saturday what exactly started his reported grudge with the New York Yankees .

In 2003 , as the elder Guerrero was entering free agency, the Yankees were said to be “down the road” in negotiations with the future hall of famer before team owner George Steinbrenner and ex-Yankee Dwight Gooden met with Gary Sheffield instead as Guerrero went on to join the Angels .

“I talked with my dad, I talked with my family. Sometimes you say things that, it’s not like that,” Guerrero said. “I didn’t hold back what I said about the Yankees . But what I say is that the organization understands me. “I’m a player that the ( Yankees ), that they need me with, or if they do something, it’s because they need me, obviously. I’ll be happy to help any team.”.
