Mets prospects appear to clown club with social media activity

Some prospects in the New York Mets’ minor league system were called out for their questionable social media activity.

Mets prospect Mark Vientos “liked” a post via Instagram that showed Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins hitting a home run against the Mets on Saturday.

Luisangel Acuna – brother of Braves superstar Ronald Acuna and an infield prospect in the Mets system – also liked the video.

Why would some Mets prospects be supporting something a Mets opponent did?

Vientos wasn’t happy about being sent down to Triple-A by the team just days after they signed J.D. Martinez. Maybe he still has some bad blood toward them, which could explain why he would be cheering on the opponent.

If there’s any consolation, at least Vientos had a nice game on Saturday in the minors.

FWIW Mark Vientos was 2 for 3 today with a HR, double and a walk. His double was the hardest hit at 106.5 MPH.
