MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred lays the blame at the San Francisco Giants’ door for a Pride Night uproar, saying the team failed to properly inform players about the opt-out policy for themed caps. Four pitchers chose not to wear the caps—three scribbled Bible verses, one wore a plain hat—leading to confusion and debate over religious freedom and team communication. While MLB initially warned players for altering uniforms, Manfred later clarified no fines or discipline will follow, stressing the real issue was the Giants’ lack of clear messaging. The players say they made their own choices without pressure, but the team has stayed quiet on Manfred’s specific criticisms, leaving the breakdown in communication as the central point of contention.

The Giants outrighted 26-year-old pitcher Eric Cerantola to Triple-A Sacramento after he failed to find a new team through waivers — a move that could be a setback, but not a death sentence. Acquired from the Royals just last week, Cerantola struggled in his brief MLB stint, giving up six earned runs in under five innings. His shaky second appearance with Sacramento — walking five batters — likely hurt his chances. Though he’s a solid strikeout pitcher with a strong slider, his high walk rate has been a recurring issue. Still young and with minor league success, Cerantola has the potential to return to the big leagues if he can tighten his control.
