Santander has stated on multiple occasions that he is very excited to get things going along side Vladimir Guerrero Jr this season and in a recent interview had some incredible praises for Guerrero.
«With the power that he has, he can hit 50 (home runs),» Santander said in an interview at the Jays player development complex here. «With the discipline he has and with the experience, he can definitely do that.» -Santander
The Blue Jays plan on having Guerrero hit ahead of Santander this season, at least to start the year, which Santander believes will be great for the team's offense as both players are an offensive threat.
«We're about to see that when the season starts,» Santander said of the potential in the heart of the new-look Jays lineup. «But I think it's gonna be good because he's a great hitter. -Santander
Guerrero has never hit 50 homeruns in his career as the closest he ever came to that milestone was back in 2021 when he finished with 48 homeruns, 111 RBIs and a .311 batting average.
It will be interesting to see if Santander is correct in his statement while also seeing who is the better hitter out of the two as Santander finishing with 14 more homeruns last season than Guerrero.
