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.

What used to be standard banter in a dugout is now enough to lose your job
That would be true if he had been found in bed with a dead hooker, but not when it comes to any criticism of homos. Everyone is afraid of the bad press they might get, and equally afraid of any violence the homo community might retaliate with.
if the fans had any morals, they would stop going to these stupid games.
I remember the banter in my Little League dugout was NSFW.
Come August or September, these fans will set aside their wokeness if it means making the playoffs. Not saying you’re wrong, though.
Why do these dopes feel the need to say anything?
The only “right” thing to say is, “Everybody should love baseball.”
You don’t have to publish every fragment of a thought that crosses a synapse.

Well, they used to be derisively called the Blow Jays, so they got that going for them, which is nice.(*)
(*) Although back in 78 or 79 they positively shellacked the Orioles 24-10. The Orioles were reduced to using a center fielder, then a catcher, as relief pitchers.
At that point, could they just forfeit the game?
Yeah, that would’ve been simpler, wouldn’t it?
At some point, it seems not worth it, risking injuries from players playing out of position.
The Toronto Blue Jays should be “cut” from MLB. Let Canada start their own degenerate homosexual league. /spit
When you apologize for speaking the truth, the left smells blood in the water and will attack, until the victim ceases to exist.
Religious discrimination.
Which is mandatory, depending on the religion.
I agree. But all I remember is coming in from outside when I'd expected the game to be over, and turning on the radio, only to hear the announcer say "{Center Fielder} Harlow rocks and throws..."
Uh-oh.
