“It’s to let fans know when we don’t have success, we are going to get booed, so they are going to get booed when we have success,” Baez said when asked why he and some of his fellow players were doing that to their own fans.

It didn’t take long for Mets team president Sandy Alderson to make a public statement about Baez’s actions and message.

“These comments, and any gestures by Baez or other players with similar intent, are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Alderson said only a few hours after Baez’s statement. “Mets fans are understandably frustrated over the team’s recent performance. The players and the organization are equally frustrated, but fans at Citi Field have every right to express their own disappointment. Booing is every fan’s right.”
