10/11/23 Controversial pitcher Anthony Bass says Blue Jays release 'was not a baseball decision'. The longtime MLB pitcher still believes he was “fired because of his personal beliefs."

6/17/23 Toronto Blue Jays' Anthony Bass vs. Colin Kaepernick. Guess which athlete is being punished for his views?. In 2016 then San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick, in uniform at work, took a knee during the national anthem to protest police violence against black people. Kaepernick was permitted to finish the season, as the starting quarterback, in fact, and then, as a free agent, couldn't find any NFL team interested in signing him. The sports media overwhelmingly lionized Kaepernick, turning him into a modern-day sports version of Rosa Parks. As a result, Kaepernick made tens of millions of dollars, far more than he ever could have as a backup quarterback, from ESPN, Nike, Netflix, publishing houses, you name it, all of them threw money at Kaepernick and pronounced him a hero.

6/13/23 Cubs' Marcus Stroman offers support as MLB sends mixed signals during Pride Month. On June 1, the first day of Pride Month, the discourse around Major League Baseball was fueling anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. The Dodgers had invited, uninvited and reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to be honorees at their Pride Night. The Blue Jays' Anthony Bass had reposted a video on Instagram that called for boycotts of Target and Bud Light for pro-LGBTQ+ stances. But Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman's announcement that day carried a different tone.

6/12/23 Anthony Bass is not the only Toronto Blue Jay following hateful social media accounts. Anthony Bass was not the only Toronto Blue Jays player following accounts promoting hate targeting the LGBTQS+ communities, and baseball fans are starting to peel back layers and look deep into the social media activity of other members of the team. Over the weekend — which also marked the team's annual Pride celebration — Twitter user @nessuhhr shared a screenshot of the account whose video Anthony Bass shared on Instagram, which set off a media firestorm at the end of May. The screenshot is timestamped May 29 at 5:15 pm, the same day that Bass shared the video calling on Christians to boycott Target and Bud Light and calling the brands “evil,” “demonic,” and “satanic.” The image shows that the account was at that time followed by another Jays pitcher, Canadian reliever Zach Pop.

6/10/23 Blue Jays GM says 'distraction' was a 'small part' in Anthony Bass being designated for assignment. The Toronto Blue Jays' move to designate right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass for assignment on Friday was largely due to his on-field performance while "distraction" did factor into the decision, Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said. Toronto announced the move just hours before Friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins and the start of their Pride Weekend celebration. The 35-year-old pitcher faced fierce backlash last week after sharing a social media video encouraging Christians to join boycotts against Target and Bud Light.

6/08/23 Blue Jays to Involve Anthony Bass in Pride Weekend After Anti-LGBTQ Social Media Post, per Report. Last week, Bass came under scrutiny after sharing an anti-LGBTQ video on social media. After deleting the video, which urged viewers to boycott brands like Bud Light and Target for supporting LGBTQ causes, Bass spoke to the media and issued an apology for his actions, but did not field any questions. Bass did speak with reporters on Thursday, saying that he's learned that he should keep his focus on “being accepting of everyone's decisions and views in life,” and said that he will “know better than to post my personal beliefs” on social media platforms going forward.

Modeste was pleased that Bass was willing to "unpack" some things when they met on Tuesday.

6/07/23 Harsanyi: MLB and its struggle sessions. Anthony Bass of the Toronto Blue Jays is really sorry. You see, Major League Baseball teams like the Dodgers will honor men in nun costumes who hand out condoms and simulate sex on crosses — that's just "inclusivity." Over the weekend, Bass shared a post on his Instagram account promoting "anti-LGBTQ campaigns, which targeted boycotting Target and Bud Light because of those companies associated with the promotion of Pride campaigns," according to USA Today. Bass' scripted apology has all the earmarks of a contemporary struggle session.

6/01/23 Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman wishes everyone Happy Pride Month. It's been a rough start to Pride Month for LGBTQ baseball fans. Combined with Anthony Bass sharing a post calling for a boycott of Target for stocking Pride merchandise and the Miami Marlins completely ignoring their own Pride Night on social media, it's clear that our community could use an ally among MLB players.

6/01/23 Toronto trolls Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass for his bigoted views. Makes it pretty clear how a great majority of the city feels about Bass and his Dark Ages views. The Jays haven't taken the plunge on tossing Bass overboard (get it?), and there are probably some issues that the MLBPA would have for a player being DFA'd for something he shared on social media (Editor's note: First, he was bitching on Twitter about United Airlines, then he shared homophobic views on Instagram.) You'd have to get into the weeds in the fine print of the contract for sure. The Jays are supposed to instill a buzz in Toronto residents about being from Toronto.
