Many Blue Jays fans hoped that the arrival of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to the big leagues would be the spark the team needed to make the 2019 season a relevant one. While the team did have a short surge after he was promoted, they’ve quickly sunk into a tough stretch, losing eight of their last ten.
Unfortunately for Charlie Montoyo, the entire offence has been pretty dead, especially in their recent series against the Twins when they were outscored 26-1 in three games at home at the Rogers Centre. Some of these players we expect to go through hot and cold streaks, but for some reason Vladimir Jr’s arrival felt like it would be different, even if he’s a 20 year old rookie.
