It’s Still Spring Training For The MLB Network CSN Philly, Because That Is Definitely Not Denard Span

During today’s Grapefruit League broadcast of the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies on the MLB Network. a graphic splashed across the screen highlighting key offseason additions around baseball: R.A. Dickey to the Toronto Blue Jays, Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Denard Span to the Washington Nationals. Fancy!

Um, wait: that’s not Denard Span. It’s his teammate, fellow outfielder Roger Bernadina. And it’s “Zack” Greinke, with a “k.” Not “Zach.”

Fine, fine, it’s only February – everyone’s still working out the kinks. But that doesn’t mean Denard Span is happy about it:

C’mon @mlbnetwork with the wrong pic of me today! Lol smh

UPDATE: As multiple readers have pointed out, MLB Network was merely rebroadcasting CSN Philly. So, fine, have your joke: it’s still spring training for us, too.
