Despite the championship win, the two-time Cy Young Award winner faced criticism for his performance during the series, allowing 10 runs across 13 innings. Following a Game 5 loss, Snell seemingly minimized the Blue Jays’ success, a comment that ignited frustration among their fanbase.

“That’s just unlucky. I’m not one to make excuses or anything close to that, but that’s just pretty unlucky,” Snell reportedly told reporters after the game.

Responding to a fan’s comment about the strong performance of Blue Jays outfielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr.against him in the World Series,Snell playfully mocked the team’s defeat.

“He in cancun,” Snell quipped, suggesting Guerrero was already enjoying a vacation. “Go pick him up, and than come over this way.”

Acknowledging Guerrero’s Performance
