​​Ozzie Albies made headlines earlier this month when he signed a contract extension with the Braves, which many deemed to be undervaluing the young second baseman. Many around the league have given their two cents on Albies' bargain contract, but none were quite as befuddling as this Cincinnati Reds' broadcaster. Have a look:

#Reds announcer with some pretty inappropriate comments regarding #Braves Ozzie Albies.



“He came from a very poor background. He’s from Curaçao..and if somebody offered you $35M, I mean he might not know the difference between $35M and $85M.” pic.twitter.com/47dkstwkya — Steve Frederick (@_SteveFrederick) April 25, 2019

"He came from a very poor background. He's from Curaçao, and if somebody offered you $35 million... I mean, he might not know the difference between $35 million and $85 million," he said.





The Reds' commentator arrogantly assumes that because of Albies' origin, he is too impoverished and unintelligent to know the difference between the two sums of money.





Albies received a seven-year, $35 million extension with the Braves, and while many feel the contract doesn't see the 22-year-old earn as much money as he's worth, his intelligence was never brought into the equation.









So, here's the full comments from the Cincinnati Reds broadcast about Ozzie Albies and the deal he took. pic.twitter.com/eSYMXMk7px — Justin Russo (@FlyByKnite) April 25, 2019

The comments were completely out of line from the broadcaster and there is no place for them within the game of baseball.





There needs to be some form of accountability here, and the announcer certainly should be punished for his comments, as they were about as ignorant as it gets.
