MLB's Anthony Rendon Dragged After Admitting Baseball's Not 'A Top Priority For Me'
Anthony Rendon Fans Drag MLB Star After He Admits Baseball's Not 'A Top Priority For Me'
Los Angeles Angels star Anthony Rendon is currently being pummeled by fans on social media ... and it's all 'cause he basically admitted on Monday he really can't stand baseball.
The third baseman got candid with reporters during a Q&A out at spring training practice in Arizona ... revealing the game that's made him over $160 million the past 13 years has "never been a top priority for me."
Rendon explained he views the sport as "a job," and not much more than that.
"I do this to make a living," he said. "My faith, my family come first before this job."
Of course, seamheads all over haven't taken lightly to his comments ... firing away on him on X for the remarks.

There were Spiderman memes of people who also claimed to hate their professions ... and others who compared his feelings on baseball to the way his teammate, Mike Trout, absolutely loves it.
But, if you think that's going to sway Rendon's opinion ... it almost certainly won't -- as he's been critical of the sport for a long time now.
In fact, back in January he said he wished the season would be considerably shorter ... saying, "It's too many dang games."
FYI, Rendon -- who signed a seven-year, $245,000,000 contract back in 2019 -- has not played more than 58 games in a season since joining LA ... something his fans have made him plenty aware of in the wake of all his recent comments.
