Blue Jays Have \'No Firm Timeline\' For Vlad Jr.\'s Debut 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Feb 15, 2019 12:54 pm

The Toronto Blue Jays have no firm timeline for when Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. will join the Major League club this season.

Ross Atkins said the most likely scenario will be Brandon Drury opening the season as the Blue Jays\' starting third baseman but acknowledged that things could change.

\"I think that\'s the most likely scenario,\" Atkins said of Drury at third base. \"Having said that, we\'re a good number of days away from opening the season, and we\'ll see how things progress. Health, performance.\"

Guerrero is expected to arrive in spring camp with the rest of the team\'s position players this weekend.

\"There is no firm timeline on when he arrives and when he is playing in Toronto for the first time,\" Atkins said. \"But we want to make sure he\'s the best possible third baseman, best possible hitter he can be. This is going to be a fun and exciting time for him. A fun and exciting time for the organization.\"
