MLB needs to stop using Mike Trout’s personality as a shield for its failures In mid-April, MLB suspended baseball Twitter account @PitchingNinja, for his frequent practice of posting pitch gifs for fans to enjoy and break down. MLB is now trying to help Dodgers fans with a proposed streaming solution, or by helping to lessen the divide between DirecTV and Charter, but you could forgive Dodgers diehards for treating that as an empty offer until an actual solution is found. Is appearing in an Under Armour commercial, which makes the league and a clothing conglomerate more money, actually as worthwhile for spreading a love of baseball as taking part in community activities or spending time using his fame to promote and support local charities? The league needs to market Mike Trout better or Mike Trout should be more famous, he needs to take part in more advertising has become a shorthand for a large swath of issues that affect not just Trout and not just the Angels but every team and player across the league. MLB pretending as if they have no other options, that Mike Trout is the be all and end all of the leagues future with young audiences, is nothing more than using a persons decision to spend his time off the field privately with his family and causes he cares about as a shield for their other shortcomings.
