Two of Major League Baseball's most recognizable pitchers got into a war of words on Twitter last night. It all started when Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard poked fun at Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer for his handling of his free agency this off-season.
The reigning Cy Young Award winner hinted that he would be signing with the Mets, it was even falsely reported, before eventually inking a deal with the World Series champs.
And then he said......”I’m sorry I chose another team but I’ll donate to your charities!” https://t.co/Kxkje5Uqn2

Bauer, never one to back down from a good Twitter battle, responded to Syndergaard with what seemed like a tweet wishing him well. That was before he dug up some old Instagram comments Syndergaard made to a fan.
When mistakes are made, you try to make them right. I know you wouldn’t know anything about making mistakes though. Hope rehab is treating you well. Was good to see you back throwing. https://t.co/MI0Clq567u

Also, @Noahsyndergaard, try to treat the fans better. They’re what makes our game go. No place for personal insults, especially about someone else’s wife. pic.twitter.com/I3FaZbR224

Things continued to deteriorate from there...
Keep digging https://t.co/OR0tYEiDCA pic.twitter.com/OqnSuuLSgG

Syndergaard responded by coming over the top and pretty much putting an end to the back-and-forth. He brought up Bauer's infamous drone incident and his music, which I'm guessing not everyone was aware of.
You bring a drone and your mixtape and it’s a deal. #takeajokebro https://t.co/iAPPv3Kj0e

It's almost impossible to recover from that. So Bauer wisely didn't even make an attempt to.
You’ve got yourself a date 🤝 https://t.co/B6xAOmEu8j

More importantly than their little Twitter battle is the fact that Spring Training is here and baseball is right around the corner. Let's hope the pettiness carries into the season and we get a nice Bauer vs Syndergaard battle on the field.
