Kris Bryant's dad is very mad about Joe Buck's trade questions during mic'd up moment in All-Star Game
Don’t count Kris Bryant’s dad one among Joe Buck’s fans.
During a mic’d-up moment at the All-Star Game, Bryant was prodded by Fox play-by-play man Joe Buck about the trade rumors surrounding the Cubs’ star, which made for a fairly awkward on-field moment.
Bryant’s dad, Mike Bryant, took issue with Buck’s line of questioning.
“I simply cannot express my disappointment at Joe Buck asking my son about his future with the Cubs while he was playing left field in the All-Star Game,” Mike Bryant told Cubs Insider. “This was a classless act and has no place in the game. I’m so glad I was at the game and not watching it. There’s a time and a place for stuff like this, and this was neither. Kris deserves an apology.”

Though there’s no rule against hard-hitting journalism during mic’d up moments, Bryant’s dad may have something of a point: There is a time and place for questions of that nature, and asking them during a celebration of the sport’s biggest stars isn’t exactly reading the room.
