The long national nightmare is finally being fixed.
This comes after a never-ending list of complaints from fans and players over the lettering, visible sweat, and of course, see-through pants.
The MLBPA sent out a memo to players that acquited Fanatics and blamed Nike for their uniform issues.
“At its core, what has happened here is that Nike was innovating something that didn't need to be innovated.”

Major League Baseball plans to address all of these issues by the beginning of 2025 at the latest.

Despite back-to-back days in which the Yankees scored 15 runs, the story out of Milwaukee is yet again driven by umpires.
In the sixth-inning of Sunday’s contest, Aaron Judge broke up a double-play by blocking the throw that would’ve ended the inning. Interference should’ve been called, but instead, the Yankees went on to score 7 two-out runs.
When asked about the play after the game, crew chief Andy Fletcher admitted they got the call wrong, so at least we’re getting somewhere.
Crew chief Andy Fletcher said they missed the call on Judge’s slide.
“On the field we got together and did the best we could to come up with a correct answer. After looking at it on replay, it appears that the call was missed. It was an unnatural part of his slide.”

Remember when the internet thought Shohei Ohtani was about to sign with Toronto?
Well, apparently Blue Jays fans can’t stand the fact that he ended up with the Dodgers, so of course, they let him hear it all weekend.
As if the jeers from Jays fans weren’t enough, as soon as Ohtani responded with a homer, his Dodger teammates joined in on the fun.
#Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani's teammates booed him when he got back to the dugout after the homer. Ohtani laughed.
Ohtani also turned to Roberts and said, "Now we're tied."

April is for Opening Week, Jackie Robinson Day, and bad teams making us think they’re good — unless you’re the Marlins.
Don’t look now, but the A’s are currently third in the AL West, and the White Sox just swept the Rays.
If only Kevin Pillar, who was on Foul Territory immediately after being DFA’d by Chicago on Friday, was around to be a part of it.
Friday’s show was action-packed with guests!
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was on to discuss the state of the team, Shohei Ohtani’s excellence, leaders in the clubhouse, the team’s biggest rival, and Japanese sensation Yoshinoubu Yamamoto!
