MLB removes photos of players from its site but they still sell their jerseys

Considered even a ‘marriage lawsuit’, Major League Baseball (MLB) and the players represented by the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) cut almost any ties that united them. The MLB decided to delete even the photos of the players from its site since the start of the strike, but ironically it continues with the sale of jerseys thereof.

Major League Baseball (MLB) is clear about its objectives and regardless of the fact that there is a strike by players, it continues to profit from their image, since the sale of jerseys and products is in force.

The managers of the official MLB sites decided to eliminate almost all traces of the players by erasing even the images of the statistical profiles that are kept but business persists.

The MLB and MLBPA could not reach a new agreement in the meetings they held at the beginning of December and it was in the first minute of the second of the month that a employers’ stoppage began that has paralyzed the sport.

The so-called strike stopped the negotiations of the free agency market and any other transaction between the teams and players, a situation that so far has no date to conclude.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social networks, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
