Trump Sends 2-Word Jab At Brewers, Rays MLB World Series Matchup
President Donald Trump offered a brutal response about what the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays World Series means for an MLB lockout.
President Donald Trump responded briefly to a reporter's question about the significance of the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays competing in the World Series for the MLB championship. When asked about the potential implications for the upcoming labor negotiations between MLB and MLBPA, Trump replied with a two-word comment, "Nobody cares."
This comment comes as Major League Baseball owners push for a salary cap, while the players' union has historically opposed such a measure. The small payrolls of the Brewers and Rays have given the players' union a strong argument for their stance, demonstrating that competitive balance does not necessarily require a heavy spending market.
Trump's response suggests that he does not consider the matchup to be a major factor in the ongoing negotiations.
