"Sounds like LeBron James when he joined the Heat, pathetic" - Fans ridicule Tyler Glasnow over his comments during World Series victory celebration

On Saturday, Tyler Glasnow and the LA Dodgers won the World Series for the second consecutive year, after getting the better of the Toronto Blue Jays in dramatic fashion in Game 7.

Before making his way to LA in December 2023, Glasnow spent six seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2020, the Rays made it all the way to the Fall Classic, but they were ultimately beaten by the Dodgers.

Speaking to press while celebrating in the locker room after Saturday's big win alongside Blake Snell, another pitcher who was part of the Rays' squad five years ago, Glasnow joked about how the decision to join the team that beat him five years ago has brought him plenty of success.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em baby!" Tyler Glasnow said

SportsCenter later took to X to post about Glasnow's comments.

Glasnow's comments did not sit well with fans, and plenty left comments calling out the All-Star.

"Sounds like LeBron when he joined the Heat. Pathetic." a fan wrote "That’s such a loser mentality lmao" another fan commented "What a couple of losers. We weren't good enough to win on our other teams, so we joined the Dodgers. Couple of heroes." another fan replied "This is such a middle finger to Rays fans, except Rays fans don’t exist. Still, not cool. There is a tendency in MLB nowadays to dunk on other teams when you win. Call me old school but it’s just wrong." another fan responded "Literally everything wrong with baseball right here" another fan shared "Wow…that’s a loser mentality if I have ever seen one from a professional athlete" another fan posted
