On Tuesday, former MLB player Alex Rodriguez discussed the recent initiative by the MLB to have players mic'd up during spring training games and thinks they should consider doing the same during the regular season.
While there are currently no rules in place in regard to having players wear mics during regular-season games, Rodriguez also talked about the ways some players might feel if they were and why he thinks the MLB has declined in recent years.
"Is it more convenient for a player not to do it, of course, you want to go out and get into your routine and all of that, but baseball was number one for 30 years, and all of a sudden we have become a prisoner of our own legacy, we have had a straight jacket on and the NBA and NFL has absolutely flown by us," Rodriguez said."You have to do things progressive, it's 2020 and I do think you have to reverse the game.
Following the spring training game with Bryant and Rizzo mic'd up, a number of baseball fans took to Twitter to express their views on the situation. "I wish MLB would have these players mic'd up during the regular season. This is fantastic," Twitter user Chris Julian wrote.
