Todd Frazier Breaks Silence Regarding Bizarre Feud With Adam Eaton
By Michael Luciano
During the New York Mets' 5-3 win over the Washington Nationals on Monday night, Mets infielder Todd Frazier and Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton needed to be separated after Eaton grounded into a double play and finally met Frazier at first base. Eaton claims Frazier was needling him all night long, prompting him to "be a man about it" and retaliate.
Frazier claims that the rivalry isn't a Mets-Nats thing and that it's just between him and Eaton. However, he refused to go into detail about what was said.

Seriously....what's going on?

It's weird to think that a .203 hitter on a 21-25 team and a .273 hitter on a 19-28 team have one of the biggest rivalries in the sport right now, but here we are.

Here's hoping that feud never dies. It might actually give people a reason to watch Nationals and Mets baseball this season.
