If you have ever read the replies or mentions on an athlete’s tweet, you will almost always find fans of other teams ignoring whatever the tweet was and begging the player to sign with their favorite squad. Very rarely does the athlete ever engage back. Most athletes tend to be reserved online. Much like in post-game interviews, they answer questions with cliches and act in a ‘so-called’ professional manner to avoid being deemed controversial.
Current free agent and starting pitcher Marcus Stroman is not like other athletes. Whether it be calling out MLB team’s behavior during free agency, the Blue Jay’s arbitration tactics, or getting into beef with ex-teammates, he has never shied away from using Twitter to speak what is truly on his mind.
