Vlad Guerrero Jr. Has Perfect Response to Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal

Players around MLB are not exactly pleased with the Houston Astros. From failed apologies to slap-on-the-wrist punishments, the sign-stealing scandal keeps getting worse.

Young Toronto Blue Jays star Vlad Guerrero Jr. is the latest player to chime in with a quote that indirectly takes a shot at the Astros while also stroking his ego. How does Vladdy think he'd perform if he knew what pitches were coming?

If you thought he impressed during his rookie season, just toss this guy on the Astros in 2020 and watch the fireworks. The young slugger is only 20 years old and managed to hit .272 in his first year of major league action in 2019. That was without knowing the pitches.

All jokes aside, that's how much of an advantage it is for the best hitters in the game (or any batter for that matter) to know what a pitcher is about to throw.

That's why there's so much outrage with the Astros' despicable behavior.

Nonetheless, it's good to see the younger generation of players are aware of how cowardly this whole scandal truly is. Vladdy being comedic about it while also shedding light on how much of an advantage it gives the hitter is exactly the kind of response the league needs from a player of his caliber.
