Seattle Mariners media personality insults Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in online interview

While some have been complimentary, others have been downright nasty.

It happened recently with Trey Yesavage and his family getting trolled online.

Now Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the latest victim.

On a recent podcast, former player and current Seattle Mariners media personality Bill Krueger seemingly went after Guerrero for no reason, calling him "not my favourite player" and a fat dog "with some fleas".

To say it was unnecessary is putting it mildly.

In his first two seasons in the majors, Vlad Jr. was criticized for being overweight and out of shape, especially during the pandemic shortened 2020 season.

However, by 2021 and 2022, he had dropped some pounds while adding muscle.

While it could be debated whether or not his power numbers have declined, 23 home runs with 84 RBIs is still a well-above average season as Guerrero has turned himself into a more well-rounded and complete hitter.

He also hit .529 during the division series.

To their credit, many Seattle fans have disavowed Krueger's comments and instead are openly supporting Guerrero, whom one MLB writer predicted would win ALCS MVP honours.

Hopefully Vlad, who has largely silenced haters and previous critics with a great division series, can ride his hot bat and lead Toronto to victory.
