Brett Netzer, a second baseman in the Boston Red Sox minor league system, has been released by the team after posting a series of racist, anti-gay and antisemitic tweets.
Chad Jennings of The Athletic reported Netzer's release Saturday.
After not posting anything since a retweet on Dec. 18, Netzer went on a tirade in which he made a series of comments that began with antisemitic comments about Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom.
Netzer went on to say anyone who is transgender "and their partner does not know, and sexual actions have taken place, is a rapist and a sexual molester.
