In the last few days, we have seen MLB managers AJ Hinch, Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran all lose their jobs because of a scheme devised by the Houston Astros that using trash cans and video cameras to send out signals to hitters.
If that wasn’t bad enough, there is yet another rumor that would bring the sport to its knees when social media users got a hold of a screenshot and shared with others.
David Brosius, son of former Seattle Mariners third base coach Scott Brosius, took to Instagram and accused Mike Trout of taking human growth hormone for a “thyroid” issue.
“If you want to read something better, Mike Trout takes HGH for a ‘thyroid’ condition,” Brosius wrote on Instagram. “It’s a loophole he found and the MLB doesn’t make it public because they don’t want fans knowing their best player is on HGH. But people within know…”
David Brosius not only deleted that comment, but deleted his entire account.
Trout has never been suspended for a failed drug test, with the Angels star outfielder earning eight All-Star Game nominations, seven Silver Slugger Awards, and three American League MVP trophies in his nine years as a professional baseball player.
