I’ve checked recent news, MLB updates, and official statements — nothing supports that Vlad Jr. sent a message to USC or to John Schneider before leaving. If this is based on a rumor or social media post, it’s not been confirmed.
Here’s what is true (or supported) and some thoughts on why this headline seems unlikely or possibly misinformed:
✅ What is known / verified
- Contract extension with Toronto
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. recently signed a 14‑year, $500 million contract extension with the Blue Jays — the largest in franchise history. - Three‑word message to fans
After the deal, Guerrero Jr. addressed Blue Jays fans with a simple message:“Hello, guys, I got a message for you: I’m not leaving.”

- No credible source reports that he sent a message specifically to the University of Southern California (USC).

- Social media often spreads mis‑attributed or speculative statements. It could be a rumor making rounds that hasn’t been fact‑checked.
If you like, I can try to dig up whether there is any emerging story related to USC and Vlad Jr., just in case something new hasn’t yet been widely reported. Do you want me to check?
