Chang did find some support on social media.

Cleveland signed Chang in 2013 as an amateur free agent. He made his debut against the Baltimore Orioles in 2019. In that season, he was 13-for-73 with a .178 batting average and a home run.

In seven games this season, he is 4-for-16 with two RBI, a .250 batting average and a .708 OPS.

Cleveland has started the season 5-4 and is not exactly expected to make waves in the American League. The team traded its best player in Francisco Lindor over the offseason. Cleveland is hoping Shane Bieber can put together another Cy Young award-type season to keep them in the hunt for a playoff spot.
