During a game, first basemen often get a moment or two to have a brief chat with players when they come over to the bag. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is no different, as he makes sure to catch up with some good friends from opposing teams.

Speaking to insider Tom Ruminski on Tuesday, the Blue Jays superstar named some of the players from opposing teams he is most fond of speaking with.

"It depends. I like talking with Ronald Acuña Jr., Teoscar Hernández, and Fernando Tatis Jr. I can talk with those three every day," Guerrero Jr. said.

It's no surprise to see two of those players, Teoscar Hernandez and Fernando Tatis Jr., are from the Dominican Republic, which is also where Vladdy Jr. hails from.

Ronald Acuna Jr., though not Dominican, is from Venezuela, which is also another primarily Spanish-speaking nation.

Probably Guerrero Jr.'s best friend out of the aforementioned trio is Dodgers star Hernandez, who played for the Blue Jays up until 2022, spending three seasons with Vladdy.
