The beef Todd Frazier and Adam Eaton share is three years old. It still seems to be in prime condition, but side effects may include selective memory.
The natural rivalry is between the Mets and Nationals but Frazier and Eaton have made it a bizarre personal feud, stemming back to their days as teammates on the White Sox in 2016. It spilled onto the field Monday night, when the two had to be separated after Eaton grounded into a double play.
Frazier initially declined to discuss the dust-up Monday night, but after Eaton ripped him in a postgame interview – calling him “childish” and accusing him of chirping from across the field – Frazier came back with his own side of the story Tuesday afternoon.
