Trey Yesavage Addresses Social Media Attacks
Before the opening game, Yesavage took the opportunity to speak to the media. He expressed his disappointment regarding the negative comments directed at his family on social media. “It’s sad to see that people close to me are being attacked for my performances on the field,” he stated.
He emphasized the impact of social media on his loved ones, stating that they are undeserving of such negativity. “If you have a problem, I’m a man; I can take whatever opinions anybody has about me or my life,” he added. Yesavage chose not to delve further into the matter, emphasizing the need for respect towards his family’s privacy.
A Historic Performance Ahead
Game 2 will mark Yesavage’s fifth appearance in Major League Baseball. His previous outing was particularly noteworthy, as he achieved 5⅓ no-hit innings against the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Division Series.
