Mike Trout may be the best player in MLB, but he caught some major heat for another very important role that he plays in the sports world: fantasy football commissioner.
Last week, Reds outfielder Tommy Pham earned a three-game suspension for slapping Joc Pederson before a game, over a disagreement stemming from their fantasy league last year. He also took a shot at Trout, the league’s commissioner, over his handling of a controversy stemming from the league’s IR rules, calling him “the worst commissioner in fantasy sports.”
Naturally, Trout was asked about his role in the situation on Wednesday, and he said that he’s spoken to both Pham and Pederson about the situation.
