Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman shared honest feedback about the struggles of first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Blue Jays lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 on Wednesday night, giving them a four-game losing skid and seven losses in their last eight games.
Toronto's season is spiraling out of control as the team is now 10 games under .500 with a 46-56 record, and they are going to have trouble making the playoffs this year, just one season after nearly winning the World Series.
One of the reasons for the team's drop-off has been the poor batting of Guerrero, who has just 6 home runs this season and an OPS of .689. He has simply not been good enough for a Blue Jays team that is currently in last place in MLB in runs scored.
