Recent statements by Jonathan Papelbon, a former teammate of Anthony Rendon, have stirred controversy in the MLB community. Papelbon confirmed that Rendon, who plays for the Los Angeles Angels and is one of the game's highest-paid players, has a strong dislike for baseball. This revelation aligns with previous comments made by Rendon himself, although it appears to have surprised some fans. The situation has sparked discussions about player commitments and compensation, with Papelbon suggesting that Rendon should only play half the season if he is unwilling to fully commit, presumably also giving back half of his salary. The MLB world has reacted negatively to the notion of shortening the season, a suggestion associated with Rendon's views on the sport.

I didn’t need Papelbon to confirm that Rendon hates baseball, but apparently that’s a shocking revelation to some. Nothing Rendon said is anything new.
