Boricua Jorge López is fired from the Mets after throwing a glove to the stands and classifying the team as the worst in MLB

The Puerto Rican pitcher of the New York Mets, Jorge López, could have his days numbered in the team after this Wednesday he starred in a scandalous image where he threw his glove into the stands and later issued statements where he classified the Queens team as the worst team in the Major Leagues.

Information from well-known journalists Joel Sherman (New York Post) and Andy Martino (SNY), assumed that this Thursday the Mets will place López on the list for assignment in response to both the comments and the tantrum he left during the defeat 10-3 at Citi Field.

During the top of the 8th inning, the right-hander was on the mound against Shohei Ohtani’s pitches when a decision by the third base umpire prevented the Japanese from being out and he later ended up hitting a home run that frustrated him and he took out his anger on the referee. , who expelled him from the match.

This was enough for López, on his way to the dugout, to throw his glove to the public and go to the dressing room, where minutes later he would give his controversial statements.

“I have no regrets (about throwing down the gauntlet). The Mets are the worst team in fucking MLB. Whatever happens, will happen. Whatever you want to do, I’ll be here tomorrow,” Lopez told the SNY TV cameras.

After the incident, the first to speak out was Carlos Mendoza, manager of the Mets, who described López’s action as “unacceptable” to the media.

Although from the moment López is designated for assignment, he could be taken by another team, it seems unlikely that the right-hander will be part of another organization after the serious comments about the Metropolitans, which would jeopardize his stay in the Major Leagues in the future after military in six different teams since its debut in 2015.
