Rod Carew has no use for Tom Brady’s assumptions about baseball.
The Hall of Famer expressed his displeasure Tuesday when MLB tweeted about what Brady could have accomplished if he had played baseball after being drafted by the Expos in 1995.
MLB is looking into Brady’s alternate reality as part of the release of the Topps Bowman “Dream Draft Picks” card, which features Brady with the Expos.
“What does that say about baseball?” » Carew wrote in a tweet quoting an MLB article.
“Maybe I’m just a grumpy old man – and I respect Tom Brady – but is baseball so unpopular that we have to pretend a football player was a baseball player to get attention?
To promote the release of the Brady-Expos card, Fanatics unveiled an ad featuring a world in which Brady, the GOAT of football, enjoyed similar success in MLB.
The Expos selected Brady in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft, but he chose football instead, a wise decision.

“Welcome to the Bradyverse” the message read.
“@Topps created a world in which Tom Brady, who was drafted by the Expos, played an entire MLB career. Can you imagine that?! ???? #BradyDay.
Carew’s criticism, while perhaps misguided, has been leveled at baseball for many years.
Baseball has struggled to market some of its players, with Angels superstar Mike Trout often cited as the best example.
Meanwhile, the NFL machine prevents any of its best players from going unnoticed.
Carew certainly felt that feeling while playing for the Twins and Angels, two teams struggling for national relevance.
The former MVP hit .328 with a .393 on-base percentage and .429 slugging percentage during his 19-season career from 1967 to 1985.
