A’s Vendor Now Out After Taking Heat For Food Pics

The Oakland A’s were being mentioned with Fyre Festival, which is never a good thing. A photo showing food provided to some Oakland Athletics minor leaguers went viral, sparking references to the infamous Fyre Festival that allegedly once offered sandwich bread with sliced cheese for dinner. Pictures of the food were shared through a Twitter account run by Advocates for Minor Leaguers, an organization fighting on behalf of minor league players for fair pay and better working conditions.

No employer would serve these meals to employees they care about. Why are the A’s serving them to their future Major Leaguers? pic.twitter.com/cIFqiPg6iX

In a reply to the tweet, Athletics president Dave Kaval called the food “totally unacceptable” and said the team terminated its agreement with the third-party vendor that provided it to players “several weeks ago.

This was totally unacceptable. When we found out several weeks ago we terminated the third party vendor. We apologize to our players, staff, and coaches. We will redouble our efforts to provide the best options for our team at every level. https://t.co/yPzVWiCx1D

The A’s released a statement, saying:

“Several weeks ago, we were made aware of the postgame meals being served to players in our Minor League system. Those options were completely unacceptable and by no means meet our quality standards. We immediately ended our relationship with that third party vendor.”

Minor league baseball isn’t supposed to be easy but that’s too much.

Prisoners possibly eat better than minor leaguers.
