“I want to play, I love our game, but I know we need to get this CBA right,” Trout, a three-time American League MVP, tweeted on Wednesday.
“Instead of bargaining in good faith – MLB locked us out. Instead of negotiating a fair deal – Rob canceled games.”
“Players stand together. For our game, for our fans, and for every player who comes after us. We owe it to the next generation.”

It’s a pretty adorable family.
