“Angels Leadership Does Not Want Me to Be Involved”- MLB Legend Rod Carew Makes a Shocking Revelation on Former Team

Major League baseball is currently going through the owners’ lockout since last year’s December. And both the club owners and players are yet to reach a new agreement, after it expired in December 2021. This is the first major lockout in the last 28 years. The last time an agreement expired without reaching on a new one, was in the 1994 season.

Meanwhile, former baseball player and Los Angeles Angels legend, Rod Carew is not happy with the treatment from his former club towards him. The 76-year-old legendary infielder, who played in Major League Baseball for a long 19 years, showed his disappointment at not being a part of the Angels leadership group.

Rod Carew on Jan 22nd posted a throwback photo on his Twitter account. In which he is wearing the Twins’ gears and got nostalgic about his time at the Minnesota club.

Hours after Carew posted the photo on Twitter, a user asked him about his allegiance to the Angels. And if he equally divides his allegiance towards the Angels and the Twins. Of which, Carew said, he loves Angel fans as much as the Twins fans. But the only difference is the Angels’ leadership does not want him on board and the Twins do.

He said, “I love Angels fans as much as Twins fans. I ‘grew up’ in Minnesota, but my home is in California to this day. I have friends at both organizations who I cherish. The only difference is the Angels’ leadership does not want me to be involved with their club and the Twins do.”
