Kevin Brown is again the play-by-play voice of the Baltimore Orioles, returning last night for a game between the Orioles and Seattle Mariners.

During a game against Tampa Bay Rays last week Brown repeated on air what was flashed on the screen about the Orioles frustrating series of losses against the Rays. Totally benign statement. He was suspended by team officials according to The Athletic and most believe the team owner drove this. Orioles fans at Camden Yards chanted "free Kevin Brown" repeatedly.

Brown remained silent until yesterday when he tweeted about his 'wonderful' relationship with the team, the GM and the owner. What most likely is the real story here?

Guest: Greg Brady, Host, Toronto Today, AM 640, Global News Radio and for many years sports host/anchor.
