I don’t think this particular story is a commentary on the visa, as much as the player. He deserves whatever shame comes his way.

There is nothing sinister about him picking “the white guy”over Adam Jones. The comparison was between Bautista and Trumbo because those were two of the options the orioles were pondering during free agency this off season. There’s no question that Adam Jones is the team leader.
