Schneider rules out dropping Guerrero Jr. in Blue Jays lineup
Toronto's manager explains why Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stays in his current lineup spot even as the offense underperforms around him.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider addressed speculation about moving Vladimir Guerrero Jr. down in the batting order. Schneider said he does not want to punish Guerrero and views him as a focal point of the Toronto offense. He noted that if other hitters were performing at a high level, the decision might be easier to reconsider. For now, Guerrero's lineup position remains unchanged.
