Trey Yesavage finally broke his silence on the heartbreak of Game 7 yesterday, and his method of coping has sparked one of the weirdest controversies of the offseason.
It seems that even when the World Series is over, the rivalry between Toronto and Los Angeles refuses to sleep.
The young ace spoke candidly to the Toronto media about the mental toll of that crushing defeat in November.
Trey Yesavage (Drafted Round 1, 2024 by Blue Jays) admitted he needed to completely disconnect from the baseball world.
"I spent a lot of time out in the woods hunting and just trying to be with myself and kind of disappear a little bit," he told reporters yesterday.
Why are Dodgers fans mad at this lol?
It was a raw, human moment from a 23-year-old who just shouldered a massive workload increase, throwing 139.2 innings across all levels last year compared to just 93.1 the year prior.
But for some reason, this admission has triggered a wave of mockery from the West Coast.
Dodgers fans on social media have seized on the "disappear" comment, spinning it as him running away from the pressure or "hiding" after the loss.
It is frankly ridiculous behaviour from a fanbase that just won the title.
They seem obsessed with the narrative that they "broke" him, ignoring the fact that he absolutely carved them up in Game 5 with a historic 12-strikeout performance.

You would think winning a ring would make them gracious, but apparently, Yesavage is still the villain of their story.
The reality is that Yesavage is doing exactly what elite competitors do: resetting the mental hard drive.
Hunting requires patience, silence, and focus—traits that translate perfectly to the mound.
If Dodgers fans want to believe he is "hiding," let them stay delusional.
We know he is recharging to come back even scarier in 2026.
This is a pitcher who went from High-A to starting Game 1 of the World Series in a single season.
His ability to block out the noise—whether it is in a hostile bullpen or on Twitter—is his greatest asset.
Let him enjoy the woods now, because when he comes back to the concrete jungle, he is going to be hunting wins, not deer.
