Baseball Crowns a New Showman as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Becomes the First Player to Win MLB’s Entertainer of the Year Honor. DD
Are you not entertained?
In 2025, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made sure Toronto Blue Jays fans were.
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 honour 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.
Guerrero’s on-field exploits were also recognized on Thursday, as he and teammate 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.
