Earlier today, I linked to Adam Rubin’s story about Tony Bernazard challenging the Binghamton Mets to a shirtless brawl. Now, we have a report from Bart Hubbuch that the minor leagues aren’t the only ones to see the rougher side of Tony B.
Mets reliever Frankie Rodriguez confirmed this afternoon that he exchanged words on the team bus last week in Atlanta with Bernazard, the club's embattled vice president of player development.
"Yeah [it happened], but I'm not going to talk about that," Rodriguez told The Post before tonight's game here with the Nationals. "Not going to get into it."
Another player, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post today: "That guy [Bernazard] is crazy. No one like[s] him."
Hey, Wilpons? Are you reading this?
Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not fire Omar Minaya for any reason as long as Bernazard is around.
