MLB teams humorously respond to Jayden Daniels' decision on No. 5

Major League Baseball teams engaged in playful trolling of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels over his recent request regarding his former jersey number at LSU. Daniels informed LSU that his name, image, and likeness can no longer be used after the school allowed sophomore DJ Pickett to wear his No. 5. This decision did not sit well with Daniels or his family, who expressed disappointment in a statement. MLB teams such as the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays took to social media, creating jokes referencing Daniels and his number. Despite the backlash, Daniels remains focused on training camp and hopes to resolve the matter privately while his team prepares for an upcoming season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
