TORONTO — Blue Jays reliever Anthony Bass says he’s sorry for sharing a homophobic social media post.

Bass spoke ahead of Toronto’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers tonight.

The 35-year-old Bass shared an Instagram reel yesterday where another content creator made the “Biblical case” for why Christians should boycott Bud Light and Target after they openly supported the LGBTQ+ community.

Bass says he apologized to his teammates and is using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate himself.

He says that “the ballpark is for everyone” and that Toronto wants to welcome everyone.
