Mariners vote not to play Padres, game postponed

The Mariners and San Diego Padres will not play Wednesday after Seattle players voted to join a pro sports boycott started by the NBA earlier in the day.

ESPN first reported the teams were not taking the field.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds postponed their game Wednesday as part of the protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.

That decision came after the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to play in their scheduled playoff game against the Orlando Magic. Two other NBA games were postponed after that, as were all three scheduled WNBA games.

The Mariners have more Black players on their roster than any other MLB team.

Major League Baseball has not yet made a formal announcement about the status of Wednesday's games or Thursday, when the Padres and Mariners are scheduled for a matinee.
