- The Royals opened their four-game series against the Blue Jays on Thursday in Toronto without 10 of their unvaccinated players, including Whit Merrifield. Although Kansas City got off to a fiery start with a 3-1 win, the 33-year-old utility man remains in hot water following his recent remarks.
Earlier this week, Whitfield elaborated on his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, which is a requirement to enter Canada. The two-time All-Star noted he could possibly change his mind over the jab depending on a potential future situation.
“Right or wrong, I didn’t do it on a whim. It’s been a long thought process. Because I understand what Canada has in place right now. That’s the only reason that I would think about getting it at this point, is to go to Canada,” Merrifield said, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com.

and now he got traded to the blue jays...this is something else 😅
And he got vaccinated before trade deadline :D
Hopefully, Dayton Moore will find some closure and healing. Time heals all wounds. If he can get over this, nothing will stop him.
😳😅😂🙌🏾🤪👊🏾💥🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🆒THANKS for the game winner yesterday MERRIFIELD‼️VETERAN TALENT JOGGAZ‼️🍁🇨🇦🔥
trade him to Detroit....or Oakland....
Merrifield is a barely .200 hitting bum...maybe Oakland can use his great prowess.
He's been a solid hitter in the past 5 years dumbass! Can't write off the guy for one down year.
And yet, he's in the Major Leagues and you're on here COMPLAINING.. Go figure
.635 OPS!!! Contenders are going to be lining up for that.
As a Jays fan I would have been happy to see him go somewhere else. We need pitching, not an outfielder or second baseman. Another Shatkins blunder.
Wise guy what pitcher are you getting with what the blue Jays were offering
You know Springer is hobbled right? They didn't need an outfielder? Oh okay. And if another outfielder or espinal gets hurt? Oh look you have this thing called, depth.
I don't understand what pitcher they were gonna go and get that wasnt gonna increase the payroll substantially whilst not depleting your farm system. They have dudes like Vlad who are gonna get paid a ton.
Springers multiple injuries would disagree with you
This aged so poorly. 😂
i LIKE THIS GUY. he WON'T DRINK THE POISONOUS TEA, 1,2,3 OR 4 CUPS. Don't give in just to play for the crappy jays. Forced to drink the tea will be deadly consequences for you and ur family.
The good news is he identifies as vaccinated, wink wink
Poison tea? LMAO
