TORONTO -- The Blue Jays showed off their big prize from the 2015 international signing period on Friday. Vlad Guerrero Jr. was in uniform and took batting practice with the team ahead of its series opener against the Rays at Rogers Centre.
The 16-year-old Dominican slugger, son of nine-time all-star Vlad Guerrero, signed with Toronto for $3.9 million in early July.
"It feels good," Guerrrero Jr., said of his first workout with the big league squad. "[The team] shared their experience with me and I'm hoping to take that home with me."
Guerrero's next stop will be at the team's training facility in Dunedin, Fla.
