Left-handed starter Blake Snell, who recently changed to a LA Dodgers uniform, has become a hot topic by directly commenting on malicious comments left by his former team San Francisco fan.

A San Francisco baseball fan left a rather uncomfortable post on Snell's SNS (social network service) on the 15th (Korea Standard Time), saying, "I cheered for you when you were in San Francisco, but I'm sorry, but you chased money rather than honor or pride."메이저놀이터

Soon after, Snell answered in person. He first revealed his identity through an article titled "Go Dodgers!" and then said, "Go get angry in San Francisco. If you only know which team I signed, don't hate me."

Nothing is known exactly what happened between San Francisco and Snell, but given Snell's comments, it can be assumed that there was an inconvenience between the two.

In response, Dodgers fans are posting messages supporting and cheering Snell, such as "He's ready to be Dodger," "I really like Snell like this," and "I'm so happy that Snell signed with the Dodgers."

Snell, a two-time winner of the Cy Young Award given to the best pitcher, became an FA (free agent) after the 2023 season. Initially, he was expected to sign a long-term FA contract, but due to the cold market due to TV broadcasting rights issues, he was forced to sign a two-year, $62 million short-term contract with San Francisco after the start of last year's spring camp.

Perhaps because of his contract after the start of the spring camp, Snell was in a very slump, as he was thrown on the mound early in the season. His ERA was over 10 points. Moreover, he had to go down to the Minor League due to injury and focus on rehabilitation for a while.

However, Snell, who started to rebound from last summer, was able to finish the season with a good performance of 5 wins, 3 losses and an earned run average of 3.12. Then, at the end of the season, he became an FA again by exercising his opt-out right included in his contract, and transferred to his current team, the Dodgers, in November last year by signing a five-year, $182 million contract.

Snell, a Washington State native, played for a total of nine seasons in the Major League until last year. Since his big league debut with Tampa Bay in 2016, Snell has pitched in a total of 211 games through the San Diego Padres and San Francisco, recording 76 wins, 58 losses and an ERA of 3.19.

However, as some San Francisco fans claim, Snell only had two healthy and impressive seasons in his nine-year career in the big league in 2018 (21 wins and five losses) and 2023 (14 wins and nine losses). Except for that, Snell has never won double-digit wins in a single season. He has not been able to keep his starting rotation full-time. For this reason, some point out that his ransom is a "bubble" is gaining some convincing power.

Fans of both teams are already paying attention to what kind of pitch Snell, who changed to the World Series winner's uniform last year, will pitch this season against rival San Francisco.
