Walker Buehler tweets and deletes short rant about MLB owners

Walker Buehler took to Twitter to share his frustrations on the MLB lockout, but he quickly removed his tweets after posting them.

The MLB lockout has been a polarizing issue that has spawned all sorts of discussions. A number of talking points have been brought up and a number of people connected to baseball have shared their thoughts.

You can add Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler to the list of baseball players who have expressed their anger at the situation and at MLB ownership. Buehler ended up sharing his thoughts on Twitter, but those tweets didn’t really last all that long.

Unfortunately for Buehler, Twitter isn’t exactly the platform that is built to have nuanced discussions on complicated matters.

MLB lockout update: Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler sounds off on MLB owners, deletes tweets

And unfortunately for MLB fans on Twitter, a couple of the most interesting thoughts on the MLB lockout ended up getting scrubbed from the site as Buehler ended up deleting those two tweets.

Even though those tweets were deleted, Buehler isn’t really wrong here. His frustrations and his shared criticisms of MLB ownership seem pretty reasonable. While some might argue about the notion of this being “millionaires vs. billionaires,” Buehler isn’t wrong in saying that these negotiations are hinged on the concept of workers vs. owners.

The workers don’t believe they’re being treated fairly. It’s very reasonable for them to raise concerns. That’s definitely true with some of the players who make less money and don’t have the influence that some more prominent and dominant players do.

And yet, MLB team owners don’t appear to want to budge. They don’t seem interested in making any sort of concessions that would benefit the players here. Of course, it also doesn’t seem like Rob Manfred has really been anything that resembles helpful in all of this.

It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
