New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza explained the team's decision to designate veteran pitcher Jorge López for assignment following his Wednesday ejection from Citi Field.
"We have standards here, and I told you guys yesterday that behaviors like that, we weren't going to tolerate that," Mendoza told reporters, per SNY. "So, that's why we made the decision."
López was designated for assignment Thursday after throwing his glove into the stands following his ejection from Citi Field during a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He told reporters after the incident that he didn't regret his outburst.
