Because the ballplayer’s job is to play baseball. Not to make it easier for a beat writer to get a quote. If the beat writer wants a quote, they can go through the translator or learn to speak your language. And if you learn to speak their language, you’ll get a better quote.

I don’t have a link handy, but there was an Angels beat writer complaining about Vlad Guerrero refusing to learn English.
