There's a new feud brewing in Major League Baseball between New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard and new Los Angeles Dodgers hurler Trevor Bauer.
It all started Friday evening when Syndergaard took a thinly veiled shot at Bauer using two photos taken during the early days of spring training:
And then he said......”I’m sorry I chose another team but I’ll donate to your charities!” https://t.co/Kxkje5Uqn2

Syndergaard is alluding to the fact that Bauer botched his free-agent announcement, accidentally posting an article on his website indicating he had signed with the Mets. Hours later, it was announced that Bauer had signed with the Dodgers.
To make up for the gaffe, Bauer apologized and said he'd donate $10,000 to select New York charities.
Bauer, who is no stranger to online barbs with fellow players, quickly clapped back:
When mistakes are made, you try to make them right. I know you wouldn’t know anything about making mistakes though. Hope rehab is treating you well. Was good to see you back throwing. https://t.co/MI0Clq567u

Also, @Noahsyndergaard, try to treat the fans better. They’re what makes our game go. No place for personal insults, especially about someone else’s wife. pic.twitter.com/I3FaZbR224

The exchange didn't end there, as Syndergaard told Bauer - who's been openly combative with fans on Twitter numerous times - to "keep digging" while Bauer responded, "See you at the bottom."

The Mets face the Dodgers seven times in August, including a three-game series Aug. 13-15 at Citi Field and a four-game set Aug. 19-22 at Dodger Stadium.
