The most important takeaway from this...Vlad's agent's name
From MLBTR:
"The Blue Jays have released Vladimir Guerrero at his request, the team announced. The 37-year-old outfielder issued the team an ultimatum earlier today, and they decided to release him rather than call him up the big leagues.
Bean Stringfellow, Vlad's agent, said his client is not retiring and will seek employment elsewhere"
