Vladimir got ripped off being this year's cover.

I mean, where's his intro like all the previous covers got.
Last year - Jazz Chisholm played to play.
The year before Shohei had an intro about something - hard to remember.
The year before that was Tatis Jr hanging around some palm trees or some stuff.

This year - it shows Vlad, then goes straight into story lines intro.

I'd argue none of the previous cover athletes got the reveal Vlad did with the hometown tour and interview, but YMMV.

PS: Shohei's intro was him talking about his goals.

Do we know if Vlad wanted it this way? Maybe he didn't want to record something.

TBH the Jays are all under valued right.
