Trey Yesavage<\/a> opened up the press conference ahead of his next post-season start with a message to everyone.<\/p>\n

Keep his family out of it.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> rookie, who will start Game 2 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners, began an impassioned opening statement Sunday seemingly pointing to people attacking his loved ones this season.<\/p>\n

“Living in this world where there’s so many different opinions and feelings which result in a lot of hate,” said Yesavage, who was outstanding in Game 2 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees. “It’s sad to see that people close to me are being attacked for my performance on the field.<\/p>\n

“These people have done nothing to warrant negativity from my actions. Whether that’s my parents, my brothers, my girlfriend, family \u2014 it’s just really sad.”<\/p>\n

Yesavage was pulled after 5.1 no-hit innings and a franchise playoff record 10 strikeouts during their 13-7 win over the Bronx Bombers to take a 2-0 series lead. <\/p>\n

The crowd at Rogers Centre erupted as he made his way towards the third-base dugout and was subsequently summoned for a curtain call by an impassioned group of 44,764 screaming fans.<\/p>\n

While Yesavage didn’t elaborate on the incidents he was referring to in his statement, he was emphatic that critics should point their issues to him, not those around him.<\/p>\n

“I know I have the platform to address it … I’m a man \u2014 I can take whatever opinions anybody has about me and my life.”<\/p>\n

The 2024 first-round pick will take the ball for just his fifth career start on Monday for Game 2 of the ALCS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trey Yesavage opened up the press conference ahead of his next post-season start with a message to everyone.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208364,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-208363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
