'The words were harsh, the sentiment was out of bounds and I deeply regret it.'
Manoah went off on Ross’ body shaming comments, and rightly so. Baseball players come in all shapes and sizes, which the 285-pound right-hander made sure to mention."You're too narrow-minded to see that I am DEFENDING baseball," he replied."Ratings, attendance and interest in younger demographics are down. And the image of the athletes, and who is marketed to the masses, matters.
Manoah has never been shy about his appreciation for Kirk, who’s served as his personal catcher all season. Their relationship was on full display during July’s All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium when the first-time All-Star was wearing a microphone in his outing.The 24-year-old has been a workhorse for the Blue Jays this season, logging a career-high 177.2 innings across 28 starts. He owns a 2.43 ERA and has been worth 3.5 fWAR in 2022.
