– Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is still seething over his ejection at home plate in Thursday’s game against the Chicago White Sox. During a video call with reporters Saturday, Donaldson said MLB umpires lacked accountability and didn’t care about the game. “Whether those pitches go my way or the pitcher’s way, whatever that may be, the umpire consistently isn’t doing their job correctly. That’s affecting our careers, that’s affecting our success,” Donaldson said. “At the end of the day, there’s no reprimand, no accountability for the guys that are making the decision.” Donaldson was ejected for kicking dirt on home plate following a sixth-inning home run.

If he is contacted, Donaldson said he will ‘be as vocal as I want to about the certain individual that this was about.'”
