Alexander Guerrero Perez (born November 20, 1986) is a Cuban-born former professional baseball left fielder and third baseman.
[6] He began training in the Dominican Republic and on September 9, 2013, it was reported that he had been cleared by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control to sign with U.S.
[7] Guerrero was rumored to be signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with early reports putting his deal in the seven-year, $32 million area.
He recorded his first Major League hit with a single to left field off of Erik Cordier of the San Francisco Giants on September 13.
[19] In spring training, Guerrero made it clear he intended to exercise an unusual clause in his contract allowing him to refuse an assignment to the minor leagues.
[20] As it happened, he hit so well during spring training that he convinced the Dodgers he belonged on their opening day roster, despite concerns about his defense.
[22] After two weeks, Guerrero was hitting so well there was a clamor for him to become the regular third baseman, as incumbent Juan Uribe was getting off to a slow start.
[23][24] Uribe, however, picked up his production, and Guerrero continued to be used in a utility role, playing at third base and at left field and pinch hitting.
[31][32] Guerrero broke a Chunichi franchise record for most consecutive games with a home run, with 6, after he cleared the fence against the Rakuten Eagles on 3 June 2017.
[33] He however fell short of equalling the NPB record of 7 consecutive games with a home run set by Randy Bass and Sadaharu Oh as he failed to register a hit in the final match of the series against the Eagles on 4 June.
