〔體育中心/綜合報導〕藍鳥今天在客場與金鶯打雙重賽,首戰藍鳥以2比4輸球,讓去年闖進世界大賽的藍鳥確定無緣季後賽。藍鳥重砲小葛雷諾(Vladimir Guerrero Jr.)近期接受多明尼加媒體訪問時,認為自己拿到14年5億美元(約新台幣159億元)延長合約是基於過去的表現,這番話引發議論。小葛雷諾今天受訪表示,「我所說的,就是我的真實感受。」
「我想讓大家了解一件事。」小葛雷諾近期接受多明尼加體育媒體人Veronica Batista的訪問時說,「他們給我的錢,不是因為我未來要做什麼,而是因為我過去已經做過什麼。他們不是因為我未來每年都會打出40轟才付我這筆錢,而是因為我過去已經取得的成就。」

小葛雷諾今天受訪對此被問到此事時,他透過翻譯強調,「不,我不後悔。我說的話沒有撒謊,我理解有些球迷,他們不了解我的說法以及我真正想表達的意思,但我所說的,就是我的真實感受。」
被問到為何會有這樣的想法時,小葛雷諾說,「那是她問我今年感受如何時,我在訪談中所說的話。我說,很明顯地,我對自己今年的表現感到非常難過,因為我沒能幫助球隊打進季後賽,"
小葛雷諾指出,「我當時說,這是我個人的看法...每一名球員獲得薪水,都是因為他們過去所做出的貢獻。話雖如此,你們也必須記得,我在去年年初簽下這份合約,之後我確實打出一個很好的球季。接著,我在季後賽打出那樣的表現,幫助球隊闖進世界大賽。」
小葛雷諾是在去年與藍鳥簽下14年5億美元大約,上季交出23轟、84分打點,打擊三圍是0.292/0.381/0.467,整體攻擊指數(OPS)為0.848,幫助藍鳥一路殺進世界大賽,最後與道奇鏖戰7場吞敗,無緣世界大賽冠軍。
但小葛雷諾今年陷入低潮,整季出賽142場,只有9轟追平生涯單季新低,貢獻56分打點,打擊三圍是0.263/0.335/0.360,OPS為0.695是生涯最差。
