MLB Players React to Rob Manfred's Latest Comments About Not Being Confident in 2020 Season

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's latest comments on the 2020 baseball season sparked a wave of reaction from players across the league.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN on Monday that he's "not confident" there will be a baseball season this year, a stark contrast from his comments just last week when he told ESPN's Karl Ravech that, "unequivocally we are going to play Major League Baseball this year." 

Manfred's latest remarks, coupled with the numerous hurdles in MLB's possible return-to-play plan, sparked a reaction from players across the league. Here's a look at how they reacted:

Oh that’s weird cause a week ago you said there would be 100% chance of playing. Now the players tell you to implement the season you told/threatened us with it’s now our fault that there’s no dialogue? The players are ready and want to play. You made your bed now sleep in it Rob https://t.co/XLrMKHxsxG

So, Rob, explain to us how you can be 100% sure that there’s going to be baseball but not confident there will be baseball at the same time? hmmm. What changed between those statements 🤔🤔 Players told you to set the season, but it’s too early to set the season right now,
