TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has officially issued a subpoena to Major League Baseball.

The move came in response to the organization issuing warnings to three San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses over their Pride-themed caps. The MLB said that the action violated the league’s policy on altering uniforms.

Earlier this week, Uthmeier said on social media he would pursue consequences for the organization’s actions.

“Major League Baseball claims it does not tolerate discrimination based on religion, yet its actions tell a different story,” Uthmeier wrote in a statement. “If MLB applauds ideological messages it prefers while reprimanding expressions of Christian faith, that is not neutral rule enforcement — it is religious discrimination that cannot stand in Florida.”

He went on to say that religious discrimination will not be tolerated in Florida. So far, MLB has not responded publicly to the subpoena.

The subpoena requires that the MLB produce documentation by July 23, 2026, including:

All uniform and equipment rules, interpretive guidance, and the specific provisions cited for the June 2026 warnings;
Complete enforcement history since 2020 showing every instance of warnings or discipline for markings — versus every instance where markings were permitted without action, including “social justice” expressions, and religious citations;
Documents concerning approvals or relaxations of rules for “Permitted Expression” (BLM patches, social justice messages, sponsor logos, etc.) and how MLB distinguishes these from religious expression;
Policies on “Pride Night” or themed apparel expectations, any adverse actions against players for their declining to participate, and any consequences tied to religious expression;
Internal deliberations on the June 2026 warnings, complaints received, and any compliance analysis with MLB’s anti-discrimination code;
Records for players and personnel at the Rays, Marlins and 15 Grapefruit League clubs across Florida.
