Mike Trout has spent his career avoiding conflict and staying out of the public eye when it comes to tough topics. However, that changed this morning when Trout took a rare public stance on social media against Commissioner Rob Manfred and MLB while simultaneously backing the players:
“I want to play, I love our game, but I know we need to get this CBA right.
Instead of bargaining in good faith - MLB locked us out.
Instead of negotiating a fair deal - Rob canceled games.
Players stand together. For our game, for our fans, and for every player who comes after us.
