The Toronto Blue Jays cut pitcher Anthony Bass on Friday, one day after the right-handed reliever said he didn’t think an anti-LGBTQ+ social media post he shared last month was hateful.
The team now has seven days to trade Bass or put him on waivers. The move came hours before Bass was set to catch a ceremonial first pitch from Toronto LGBTQ+ activist leZlie Lee Kam before Friday’s game against Minnesota as the Blue Jays begin their fourth annual Pride Weekend celebration.
The Blue Jays said pitcher Kevin Gausman would catch the first pitch instead of Bass.

We have reached peak mentally ill pervert supremacism.
They are not going to like what comes next.
First the NFL and now this. The NBA is a Chinese lacky. Not going to watch MLB, either.
Only college football and the NHL left. For now....
aI think they are going to like their complete takeover f society, a lot. Compared to five years from now, today will seem like an age of tolerance.
The Blue Jays I watch just drop by the bird feeder. They are male or female.
I want to see the Blue Jays management criticize muslims for their opposition to homos. Just waiting to see how committed they are to their own destruction.
Aren’t you glad you groveled and apologized?
Well, it would be interesting to see if this actually happened with a Muslim player. My guess is that now the Muslim would get the boot.
NHL “pride” crap got flamboyant this season. The ads particularly disgusting.
I checked, according to my research, only one known Muslim has ever played in MLB. He was a Pirates backup shortstop named Sam Khalifa, who played in the 1980s, and retired suddenly when his father was murdered.
Ron Manfred should be pressure why MLB is unwelcome to Muslim and transgender players. Shouldn’t there be a quota for every team?
No kidding. Right?
In their beloved spiritually superior Communist China athletes, students coming to the US to study and entertainment stars all have to profess admiration for the Commie leaders. Even the permission to worship as Christians includes venerating the government leaders alongside Christ.
US wokesters learned from the Chinese.
Such as:
It has been a key element of President Xi Jinping’s government since April 2016, when he delivered a speech at the National Religious Work Conference calling for the CCP to “actively guide the adaptation of religions to socialist society.”
At the 19th Party Congress in 2017, Xi emphasized that the CCP would “provide active guidance for religion and socialism to coexist.”
The issuance of the decree coincides with a push by the government-controlled national religious associations of Protestantism, Catholicism, Taoism, Buddhism and Islam to require all believers to study topics such as the histories of the CCP, the People’s Republic of China and socialism to mark the 100th anniversary of the CCP in July.
VOA, China News, April 24, 2021.
Baseball contracts are guaranteed. He’s retirement age. Maybe he wanted to go out early or with a bang.
He’ll be back with a team during the pennant race, all will be forgiven.
I was hoping that, as he went into his crouch to catch the pitch, he would first place 2 balls on the ground, underneath his haunches.
#Statement
Going into the middle of the season, solid relief pitching gets scarce.
If an MLB teams needs a 35 year old relief pitcher with a 4.95 ERA, Bass will get picked up on waivers.
We are China now.
RE: to go out early or with a bang.
Better than the other guys’ banging. No details.
