Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Wins MLB "Entertainer of the Year" Award

[Leo Morgenstern]

Major League Baseball introduced a brand-new award last night and bestowed the inaugural prize on Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Vladdy is MLB's very first Entertainer of the Year.

It's a well-deserved honour for one of the most delightful personalities in the sport, both on the field and off. Guerrero was not present at the awards show on Thursday, so his godfather, Hall of Famer Pedro Martínez, accepted on his behalf.

In other Blue Jays awards news, Guerrero was also named to the All-MLB First Team, winning over Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz. In even more of a surprise, Bo Bichette earned Second Team honours, beating out shortstops like Geraldo Perdomo, Trea Turner, Francisco Lindor, and Jeremy Peña.

Da Wat?!

[Governator]

lol, he didn't show up because he knew that was a fake award.

[Omar]

Vladdy didn't show up cause...

[SeranthonySantander]

Are they saying Vlad is a joke?

[Eat My Shatkins]

Hopefully he didn't show up because his teammates and manager all got snubbed on awards they clearly should have won. 

Schneider should have won manager of the year.

Springer should have won come back player of the year.

Kirk and Clement should have won GG's.

I didn’t know Vladdy was giving lap dances after games. Good for him though.

I didn't know there was such an award. But because Vlad commented on my Facebook share one time he fits the award for me.
