Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred says he blames inadequate communication from the San Francisco Giants for the uproar surrounding the team’s Pride Night earlier this month. In a letter to U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, Manfred addresses a protest by four Giants players who wore Pride-themed hats or messages that included Biblical text during pregame activities. According to the letter described by outlets, MLB does not punish or fine those four players. The dispute draws attention to how the Giants handled messaging around Pride Night and how the situation escalated once the players’ protest became public. The outlets report that Manfred’s correspondence attributes the controversy to issues in how information was communicated by the Giants, rather than to MLB enforcement decisions. The letter also indicates that MLB’s response focuses on the players involved and that no disciplinary action is taken against them in connection with the incident.
