Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr took home the inaugural Entertainer of the Year and All-MLB First Team for first base award.
In 2025, Vlad Jr. made sure Blue Jays fans were entertained.
Taking the field with passion and high energy with a high level of play every night, Guerrero was recognized as the winner of MLB's inaugural Entertainer of the Year award on Thursday night.
In an Instagram post, MLB said that Guerrero earned the award for shining "both on and off the field this season" while providing big moments, big energy and big style.

The honor was bestowed at the MLB awards show in Las Vegas, and while Guerrero wasn't able to attend, his godfather, Pedro Martinez, accepted the award on his behalf.
In an ode to Guerrero's entertaining post-season run, in which the Blue Jays first baseman posted a 1.289 OPS on the way to the World Series, Martinez channelled the 26-year-old's post-ALDS-winning celebration, dropping a "Daaaa Yankees lose" on the crowd.
Pedro Martinez did the thing 😭
Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Bo Bichette were named to the All-MLB Teams
In the regular season, Guerrero posted a .292/.381/.467 slashline with 23 home runs, 84 RBIs and 34 doubles.
Guerrero finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.4 fWAR, ranked sixth in the big leagues among first basemen, and produced a 137 wRC+ on the year.
The Montreal-born product continued this strong season into the playoffs, where he collected 29 hits through 95 at-bats (.397) and collected eight home runs, 15 RBIs, 14 walks, and a 1.289 OPS.
He also made numerous defensive highlights at first base, which helped keep the Blue Jays in the postseason hunt before falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
Bo Bichette earns first ever Second Team All-MLB honor for the shortstop position
Bo Bichette earned his first-ever Second Team honor after an impressive bounce-back campaign in 2025.
Despite missing a good portion of September with a knee injury, Bichette finished the season with 181 hits, just three behind Bobby Witt Jr. for the AL/MLB lead, and 44 doubles, again just three behind the Royals' First-Team shortstop.
Bichette would amass a .311/.357/.483 slash line on the season, while also adding 18 home runs, an .840 OPS, and a team-leading 94 RBIs.
In the postseason, Bichette returned for the World Series and collected eight hits and six RBIs, including a monster three-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in Game 7 of the World Series.
He missed the first two series because of the knee injury and had to slot over to second base during the postseason run.
The Blue Jays shortstop is now a free agent for the first time in his career, and will definitely receive a lot of attention from other teams this winter.
