I’m glad Lopez said what he said and in doing so he spoke for me as a frustrated Mets fan.

[@laneschmidt1157]

Fans can say those things, players cant...he's done.

[@shaheedharun445]

You don’t play for them. Fans always say that stuff but it’s not as embarrassing to the org

[@VILJL]

The Chicago Cubs just signed him to a minor-league contract and he should be called-up as soon as he gets back on the pitching groove.

[@dantenewyork7380]

what's the big deal about throwing the glove? sure ...best not to do it, but it's not going to hurt anyone and it's a nice free gift for someone

[@edgoodwin4389]

I agree. Players break their bats in half all the time. He gave fans a free glove.

[@josephvida3409]

At least he shows passion for game rest of this team is 💀

[@laneschmidt1157]

This isn't passion...

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

He gave away a glove. What’s the big deal

[@shaheedharun445]

Right

[@thomasking4031]

Lopez gets blasted for speaking the truth about how bad the Mets are meanwhile Steve Cohen talking crap about how the Mets are a playoff team. But as usual it’s the guy who speaks the truth who gets blasted and the guy who feeds you crap and fluff who gets away with it.

[@Bredaxe]

He should have said they're a write off team

[@Simsema89]

That umps form on the toss 👌🏽 Waiting all season to pull that out

[@arcticredpanda4598]

Jorge just told the truth but the Mets can't handle it.

[@CharlieTWilbury]

He'd know, he's a part of it.

[@MilkBoy17520]

Instantly DFAing him just signals to every player in that team and to all the fans that the team is ok with losing horribly every single day, we're going to stick with the same strategy as always and the same busted core that couldn't win an arcade game, let alone a baseball game. The glove belongs to him, not to the team. He threw it to the fans, not at the fans, it's not like he was trying to hurt somebody. So far, Pham and now Lopez are the only ones willing to speak up about how a team goes from 100 wins to absolute unwatchable garbage.

[@CharlieTWilbury]

@@MilkBoy17520 He'd have more credibility speaking up if he was a part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

[@BBredChill]

​@@CharlieTWilburySeemed like he enjoyed playing for the Orioles. He didn't seem to have issues there. O's need some relief help.

[@jimwerther]

​@@MilkBoy17520 That spin of yours is way out there. After both the GM and manager told him that his antics were unacceptable, Lopez told the media that he had no regrets whatsoever, then practically dared the Mets to DFA him. Keeping insubordinate employees around kills an organization.

[@CraigCrowder]

Listen to the postgame interview with him: he clearly says "Ive been looking the worst teammate in the MLB." Dude was criticizing himself, not the team

[@cmacdhon]

I hope the White Sox pick him up. Then he will literally be playing for the worst team in MLB.

[@CharlieTWilbury]

Yeah, teams are lining up to pick up garbage journeymen, lol.

[@christmashake8968]

@@CharlieTWilbury You overestimate Chicago's intelligence right now. XD

[@miguelberrios19]

I feel for mets fans. Oh well, there is always next year, and the year after that, and so on!

[@noelflores2547]

Yankee fan caught the glove. What a joke this team is at. Looking like 2011-2014 Mets

[@jimwerther]

Freeman didn't even come close to going around. What's Lopez barking about?

[@Where2bub]

Turns out he was barking about the pick off throw he made to 3rd base previously, where the ump interfered.

[@michaelreyes6761]

There has been worse things in MLB history. This is just a frustrated pitcher.

[@shaheedharun445]

I don’t see what was so bad about the glove

[@adamblom6868]

As a Mets fan, there’s always next year. 😮

[@sophie20001]

If you mean next year as in never then I agree.

[@jaybruno3571]

You mean in 378 years 😂😂😂😂 Go Yanks

[@Coffeerankiq]

Lindor calling for a team meeting while batting around .200 might seem hypocritical, much like Yankees fans defending Mendoza despite his lack of Major League playing experience. It's unreasonable for Lindor to accept guidance from a manager who's akin to a swimming coach who has never been in the water. Fire Mendoza right now

[@chrisjones3791]

3rd base umpire needs to make better calls. He's showing the Mets that he's helping the Dodgers win that game. Jorge Lopez is speaking from the heart and is right about the whole Mets organization not doing their jobs. Now he can sign with another team that actually wants to improve unlike the Mets who have been in last place or near last place the last fee years.

[@spudkidmandudebro]

How to get ejected and DFA’d 101

[@albyboy24]

Remember when Harper threw his helmet to the stands after Hernandez bad call? He just got fined and carried on playing. Lopez getting kicked out of the team tho 🧐

[@user-mr7fu8pi2l]

It's a shame that truthful comments are punished when this type of trait which is what is challenging to a team that needs a wake up call needs. The New York Mets have NO leadership on the team.

[@VILJL]

Jorge Lopez is back on his feet with a new team in the National League. The righty reliever Lopez has landed a deal with the Chicago Cubs. It will be a minor-league contract for the 31-year-old Lopez, Sammon adds. Lopez is a nine-year MLB veteran who was an All-Star in 2022 with the Minnesota Twins. He should receive a call-up soon.

[@MrNegron]

I read that he is going thru something with his son being ill, and waiting for a transplant, which may explain his behavior and frustrations

[@cesarsalgadosalgado2199]

He didn't even wanna come to the mets because he rejected the first contract they offered him so i don't understand why would you hire a player if he doesn't wanna come to the team

[@ajsosagarcia4316]

This team is out of perspective, he said the true, the same happened to Javy Báez, they don’t defend there players, and the players getting frustrated, we all the situation, look you have a GM that signed one player 2 time from free agent and trade the same player two time, plus’s this GM never prepared a team for this season, so why you gone spend money on Lindor, MacNeil, Nimo, and JDM to dont have a team to play good baseball. This team is a joke.

[@mysticeternalofficial]

Umpire should get ejected.. everyone said he didn't say anything

[@garycandell2145]

That's the best thrill the Mets fans had all year

[@NathanGrant75]

Umpires need to stop acting like they are gods. Most are easily replaceable with more fools who can make bad calls. MLB needs to get control of them. The Angel Hernandez debacle is a stain on the game. As far as the glove thing, I'm sure fans would love for players to give away games used gear all the time. If Lopez was an ace, he wouldn't have been released for that.

[@MTSpade]

Dont all umps have short fuses now? I think theres another word to use that yt wont like..

[@Desert-Father]

The organization is an absolute disgrace.

[@jeremylin3570]

Ramon you are outta here..

[@Bandboxxer-v3n]

Takes a while to break in a new glove.

[@Zabbai777]

All the comments below...they aged well

[@AmericanMade87]

And you think Juan Soto wants to come to this garbage?!! Lmfao foh!! He’ll be a Yankee for life 😁

[@WolvesBaseballNine]

Ron Darling, you've become a shill and a sellout. Did you forget what it's like to be a player?

[@jimwerther]

Gee, there's a hot take 🤦‍♂️

[@WolvesBaseballNine]

@@jimwerther What did Jose do that warranted him being cut? He's our best relief pitcher in that pen, and he was being ACCOUNTABLE AND FIERY. THAT'S WHAT THE TEAM NEEDS MORE OF. IF FRONT OFDICE DIDNT LIKE HIM, THEN MAKE A TRADE. DONT BE A RETARD AND JUST LET HIM GO FOR NOTHING.

[@jimwerther]

@@WolvesBaseballNine 1. He was absolutely not the best pitcher in the pen. Like everyone else who was doing great early, he's been smacked around the last few weeks. 2. After both Stearns and Mendy spoke to him, explaining that the antics were not acceptable, Lopez nonetheless told the media that he had no regrets at all for his behavior, then pretty much went on to dare the team to DFA him. 3. At that point Lopez became insubordinate. Organizations that retain insubordinate employees fall apart. The Mets had no choice. 4. DFA is not the same as release. The team has a week or so to trade him somewhere, or else they can send him to Syracuse, which he can reject and instead take his release. But the overwhelming likelihood is that they will trade him in the next couple of days. 5. None of that makes Ron Darling a "sellout". Darling tells it straight, and gave his opinion. You made it sound as if Darling used to behave that way as a player. He didn't.

[@WolvesBaseballNine]

​@@jimwertherWith guys like you running the game, pretty soon we won't even be able to spit on the field and have to play along with girls.

Besides modern plumbing most “technological advancements” of the past 120 years or so represent a regression/wrong-turn in human striving rather than “progress”

Worst organization in MLB - horrendous - dump everyone and start from scratch - no future with this team - pathetic.

Oh throws the glove so weak instead of going to the umpire Baseball players are wimps GO DODGERS THO!!!!

[@dh3279]

Inexcusable to throw equipment into the stands, and inexcusable to publicly trash your employer and teammates. He’s a punk. And reading a statement that was obviously written by a publicist doesn’t negate the fact that he’s a punk.
