Trump Slams Modern MLB: 'They Do Things Wrong'

During a White House event celebrating Inter Miami CF, former President Donald Trump expressed his discontent with the current state of Major League Baseball (MLB). "It's not as hot now, I'll be honest with you. They do things wrong," Trump stated, recalling a time when baseball, particularly the New York Yankees, was more prominent.

Trump reminisced about attending Yankees games with former owner George Steinbrenner, highlighting a perceived difference in the sport's appeal. His comments come amid ongoing discussions about MLB's economics, including payroll disparities between large and small market teams, and potential collective bargaining agreement negotiations that could impact the league's structure.

Previously, Trump had met with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and voiced opinions on issues such as the Hall of Fame eligibility of Pete Rose. The league faces a pivotal period as it prepares for its upcoming seasons and potential structural changes.
