David Wells did not hold back in a passionate rant against woke culture on Saturday.
Returning to Yankee Stadium for the Yankees’ annual Old-Timers’ Day, the two-time World Series champion lit into Nike and Bud Light for their role in today’s culture wars.
“It always seems that the [general managers], the managers and all of that are getting fired, and getting blamed for it, and it’s the players’ [fault],” Wells said. “If you’re not doing the job out on the field, and if I was a GM, I would start sending a message.”Wells’ comments seemed to deflect blame off Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman,
“Send a message to them and let them go sit down there and think about it. That’s what you have to do. I think now they coddle them too much. They baby them. … It’s up to your peers to make you better.”Wells was a crucial part of the 1998 championship team.The left-hander added that he thought the newly implemented pitch clock was unnecessary because players should be able to regulate themselves.
