The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games in the 2023 World Series, and former Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager won the World Series MVP award.
For Seager, it was his second World Series MVP award after he won the honor in 2020 as a member of the Dodgers.
Seager because just the fourth player in MLB history to win multiple World Series MVP awards and the second player to win an award with multiple teams.
After the early celebration, as he went to the press room to speak to the media, he was asked an extremely odd question from one reporter. Take a look for yourself:
The reporter said it’s a question he “gets texted most,” and decided to ask Seager why the Dodgers let him go.
Seager, of course, did not have an answer for that question, and just shook his head before the moderator asked for another question.
The reporter then even doubled down and asked Seager, “You don’t have an answer?” And Seager just continued to shake his head with an uncomfortable smile on his face.
It’s pretty shocking that a reporter would ask Seager a question like that after winning the World Series with the Rangers. All the questions should have been about his current team and his individual performance, but that reporter decided to ask him a super uncomfortable question about something he couldn’t even answer.
Fortunately, Seager was able to just ignore it, and move on to continue answering questions about the team he currently plays for — but this was definitely one of the weirder questions I’ve seen from a reporter, especially during a moment like this one.
Either way, congrats to Seager and the Rangers for winning the 2023 World Series. And good for Seager for just ignoring the question and moving on.
