“I can’t stand Vladdy,” Keith said. “I’m fine with Ben Rice. I hate that Vladdy always talks about the Yankees when nobody asks him…I just never want to see him be a Yankee, and I’m definitely not giving up Spencer Jones for Vladdy.
“You guys want to get rid of Spencer Jones. I don’t understand how we go from spring training, him hitting home runs, he’s the next Judge…to ‘Hey, let’s give Spencer Jones away for Vladimir Guerrero.’ No. [Garrett] Crochet, maybe. Vladdy, no.”
Guerrero famously said he would never play for the Yankees, but walked back those comments recently as trade rumors swirl with Toronto scuffling in last place. Still, Keith wants Guerrero to remain a Yankee villain, and never wants to see him in pinstripes.
“I know Vlad cut his hair and they interviewed him and he changed his tone,” Keith said. “He said he’s be open to it. No bro, you talk too much.”
