Upstanding citizen Jordany Valdespin seems to be at it again. According to a report, Valdespin quit his Dominican League team because he was upset they pinch-hit for him in a playoff game.
Valdespin batted 167/.316/.612 in 108 regular-season at-bats for Tigres del Licey, according to The MLB Nation. He hit just .267/.389/.722 in 15 postseason at-bats before leaving the team.
Valdespin played in 66 games last season for the New York Mets. He made appearances on LBS for pimping a home run in a game when he was down 7-1 and getting hit as retribution. He also reportedly called manager Terry Collins a “c—sucker” after being sent down to the minor leagues.
The Mets cut ties with Valdespin after he was suspended 50 games because of his involvement with Biogenesis. The outfielder was picked up by the Miami Marlins this offseason.
