Following the Oakland A's first win of the season, Esteury Ruiz, who played a pivotal role in that victory by tripling, stealing a base, and scoring half of the team's runs, was sent down to the minors to claim a career .203/.310/.301 hitter. This decision has sparked widespread speculation and criticism among fans and commentators. Many believe that Ruiz, along with Brent Rooker, faced repercussions for showing support towards protestors against the team's ownership, led by John Fisher. Esteemed sports journalist @Ken_Rosenthal expressed surprise at the move, questioning the availability of players in the A's roster who could significantly outperform Ruiz. The controversy has fueled conspiracy theories regarding the team's management decisions and their relationship with player performance and political expressions.

The A's lost their first 3 games, but finally won Sunday thanks to Esteury Ruiz, who tripled, stole a base and scored half their runs. So the A's sent Ruiz to the minors to claim a career .203/.310/.301 hitter. Is it obvious enough yet that John Fisher is sabotaging this team?
