On July 26 Javier Báez walked off Amir Garrett and the Reds at Wrigley Field. It as electric. It was edgy. It was in your face. It was everything Cubs fans have ever loved about El Mago.
It has been a month that felt like three years since then. Javy is now a Met and he finds himself in the middle of a quintessentially New York City nontroversy. You see, Javy had the audacity to not meekly accept the boos of Mets fans and the result is a news cycle that could kindly be compared to a dumpster fire.
