Well, it turns out some of your favorite team social media content creators were actually employees of MLB and in a typically short-sighted move MLB has decided that those jobs are expendable. In a move that truly twists the knife we had to find out about these layoffs from the content creators of each account — MLB did not issue an announcement regarding the decision to eliminate these positions.
Richard Lee-Sam created content for the Toronto Blue Jays:
For somebody who was paid to do this, I don't have many words. I was let go by MLB today.
I'm very thankful for the league social crew and know they're all destined for bigger and better things.— Richard Lee-Sam (@RLeesam) February 12, 2021
