MLB Commissioner Faces Backlash Over Oakland A's Relocation Saga.
Former Oakland A's pitcher Brandon McCarthy criticized MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's comments about the team's situation and the reverse boycott organized by fans. McCarthy called Manfred's comments "f—king pathetic" and accused him of mocking fans. Despite the bad news for A's fans, McCarthy's anger over Manfred's comments resonated with many on social media. However, the reality is that Manfred represents owners with vast wealth and power, and his job is to ensure they never have to explain their actions themselves.
