First the New York Mets and New York Yankees cleared their benches, then they cleared the air.
After last Sunday’s Subway Series finale saw Mets star Francisco Lindor taunt the Yankees on the basepaths for allegedly stealing signs and using whistles to signal which pitch was coming, the teams have reportedly made peace, according to SNY’s Andy Martino.
The Mets will not pursue Lindor’s claims any further and have spoken to their rivals in the Bronx to let them know.
Per Martino:
“Members of the Mets organization—lower down on the ladder than owner Steve Cohen or team president Sandy Alderson—reached out to their Yankees counterparts to tamp down the tensions and say that Lindor was not speaking for the entire team on the issue.
“Some on the Mets side were uncomfortable with how strongly and publicly Lindor pursued the issue, and they conveyed that to the other side.”
Lindor launched three home runs against the Yankees on Sunday, including a game-winning solo shot in the eighth inning.
