NEW YORK — Javier Báez and his New York Mets teammates turned the boos at Citi Field to cheers this weekend — and turned their thumbs upside down at frustrated fans.
Báez, a two-time All-Star acquired from the Chicago Cubs last month, good friend Francisco Lindor and Kevin Pillar all were seen giving the thumbs-down during the win.“These comments, and any gestures by him or other players with a similar intent, are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Alderson said in a statement.
Báez, who is batting .210 with 22 strikeouts in 62 at-bats since being traded on July 30, said the booing doesn’t bother him but that it is discouraging. “I think it’s something that he’s probably getting used to — it’s the first time he’s had another uniform,” Rojas said. “Probably that’s why he’s sharing venting. It’s a learning experience. There’s different guys that probably felt that way coming into here and probably not performing immediately. But they learned how to deal with it and they know where the fanbase is coming from.”
Josh Bell homered twice and Juan Soto also connected for Washington. Those were the Nationals' only three hits.
