The Toronto Blue Jays had a magical run to the World Series this past season, where they fell just short to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the bond between Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Ernie Clement has never been stronger because of it.
The two remain in touch during the offseason and they're not afraid to show it to everyone.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ernie Clement share moment together Instagram.
Gavin Groe of Athlon Sports reported on the two key players for the Blue Jays, they were the two biggest contributors to the team during the playoff run with Clement even breaking a record for most hits in a postseason.
"Another key contributor was infielder Ernie Clement, whose breakout performance provided an unexpected spark. Clement set an MLB record for most hits in a single postseason with 30, surpassing Randy Arozarena's previous mark of 29. Clement's postseason heroics came after a regular season in which he was largely league average offensively."- Gavin Groe
Clement and Guerrero Jr. had a post game celebration in the infield after every win, and a fan recently made an animated art image of the celebration. Clement was quick to show Guerrero Jr. the image and tagged him in it and Guerrero shared the image instantly.
"This exchange captures the spirit of the Blue Jays heading into 2026, a team built on star power, unexpected contributors and a collective drive to finish the job they came so close to completing last season. Fortunately, earlier this offseason the Blue Jays tendered Clement a contract for 2026, which means he is now under team control for the foreseeable future as an arbitration-eligible player."-Gavin Groe
This season was amazing for the Blue Jays in more ways than one.
Their financial situation has never been stronger, their fan engagement has never been higher, and their relationships in the locker room have never been tighter, and it's amazing to see.
