Our pro sports are heavily invested in China and that country and others that don't have an affinity for a particular team probably love the latest MLB uniforms. American fans of their own teams probably don't want the generic duds. But MLB is all about the money whether fans like it or not. If they can make a bundle in China by upsetting American fans, they won't hesitate. 


I doubt this has anything to do with China. They really don't care about baseball. Premier League Football, the NBA, Formula 1? Yes.



MLB, not so much.
Au contraire.

MLB cultivating interest in China


The Chinese Baseball League mentioned in that article ceased operation a couple of years ago. Its successor is a league that has four teams.



It's clear that MLB wants to be in China (almost every business does), but I'm not sure the feeling is mutual.


yes, China is more interested in gaining influence in other countries than having things from other countries come into it.
