Should MLB mandate speaking English in interviews for US markets?

Yadi Molina, you have lived in America for over a decade. I should not have to read subtitles of your interviews.

No but it is ridiculous some of these guys that have been here for 10+ years can't answer questions in an interview in English.

Meh doesn't bother me so much... they all can speak English just not very well.

I mean, they probably understand English but don't speak it well enough to give an interview. I don't see how this is an issue when they almost always have translators

Considering how much the media loves to read into things and stretch your words, I'm okay with them doing the interviews in the language they feel most comfortable with.

I look at Hispanic baseball players the same way I look at construction workers. As long as they can understand and follow basic instructions in English, why does it matter if they prefer to communicate verbally in Spanish?

You kind of lose that excuse when you live in a nation for 8 months a year for over 5 years.
Speak Spanish on field, in dugout, on deportes, in life. I do not care. When dealing with US media, realize that part of your job as an entertainer is to speak English.

No. Why are you so perturbed or intimidated by Spanish?

Once again, they probably understand the language but not well enough to give an interview.
And once again, I don't see why this is an issue when they all have translators

A lot of them feel more comfortable speaking spanish so that things don't get lost in translation

If Trump is elected president, all foreign baseball players will speak English only
