Pride Toronto executive director Sherwin Modeste feels the organization's relationship with the Blue Jays remains strong but notes there are still "mixed feelings out there" as a result of the Anthony Bass saga.
The Bass story started to snowball after his brief apology on May 30. He prefaced his statement by saying, "I'll make this quick," before returning to the dugout without taking questions. Bass also revealed that the idea of catching the ceremonial first pitch on the opening night of Pride Weekend was discussed.
"I would say that in this situation, it's as if Anthony Bass and the Blue Jays in many ways ended up in a worst-case scenario because what he did was go out and go through the motions of giving an apology that he really didn't seem to mean," Goodman said. "I don't think that leaves anyone happy." Atkins explained the subsequent roster move as a "baseball decision to make our team better," adding the distraction was something that the club had to factor in.
