Reds & Royals surging, Yankees deadline needs, John Henry doesn't get it | Fair Territory

Thanks Ken for pointing out the facts about bilingual interviews. Virtually every ignorant fan who criticizes foreign players who don't do interviews in English is most certainly monolingual. How do I know that? I know that anyone who is bilingual would NEVER criticize anyone who needs an interpreter because they know how difficult it is. I've been teaching in French in France for 25 years. I have also done radio interviews. Even though I am technically "bilingual" (I am paid to speak French…), I am always worried about sounding like a fool. Most of the time, I do just fine, but there is always that moment when the fact that I am not a native speaker comes out for everyone to hear...

As a Brit that's followed baseball for nearly 30 years, I've loved my experiences of going to London for the games. But, I agree with Ken. Its fun for British fans, and for ( I think more likely) Americans that live here, but realistically, its just not going to take off in the mainstream. I doubt there's even a handful of local parks around the whole country that have a corner for baseball. It was covered by the BBC's online services, but it wasn't easy to find. I knew about it and searched for it, and still struggled to find it. I'd be surprised if their viewing figures were large enough to warrant much further support. TNT Sports and Discovery+ did a much better job

I was there Sunday night and it was definitely a playoff atmosphere. Great game.

When Tony, [Anthony Santander, O's] did his first interview in English with Brandon Quinones, I was so happy for him. He looked very proud to confidently speak to the fans, It makes me want to learn Spanish.

I agree. Teoscar Hernandez built meaningful personal brand equity, even if his English wasn’t perfect. He came across as warm and engaging, and he impressed me. I love the Dodgers, and now I’m intrigued by Teoscar, the newest face on the team this side of Cavin Biggio. It might have been challenging for him since he is not a native English speaker, but he did really well. English-speaking fans appreciate his effort.

Yanks need to address second base way before first base. First baseman may be older but he's a world series champ and he was a big part of that team. Yankees second baseman is a bumbling knucklehead.

The Dodgers and the Yankees should play every year

Ken just doesn’t know that It is one thing for Latin speakers to speak English as a second language, and quite another for speakers of native languages of very different origins to speak English. Nothing to take away from Teoscar though. I love him so much!

Ozzie Albies speaks 4 languages

you want Brits to care about baseball? give us a team; we’re no further away than Seattle.

Sophia is so great at interviews

John Henry already did all he wanted to with the Red Sox, he is now focused on his shiny new soccer team and using the Red Sox profits to fund buying that.

Ken breaking trades szn soon

What will the Dodgers do with Gavin Lux now that Cavin Biggio has joined the roster?

He left out Verdugo who has been great in NY.

John Henry doesn’t care about the team (Red Sox) They are just an asset to him 😡🤬😡🤬

John Henry def doesn't get it

Yankees need to bench Rizzo and Stanton need more team speed

Trade Verdugo for a good 1st baseman or 3rd baseman bring up Dominguez

Nobody cared about the Mets and Phillies
