Look, it’s early in MLB spring training. Players will take the next few week to truly round into shape for the regular season, and we’re in early in the exhibition games in which guys might be taking it easy.
That could be what was on the mind of the New York Mets’ Luis Guillorme. The infielder was on first base next to a mic’d up Paul Goldschmidt and you can hear Guillorme say, “Pete [Alonso], hit it out so I don’t have to run” on ESPN’s broadcast of Monday’s game.
Goldschmidt was amused and responded that his words would be picked up.

LOL. Got to love spring training mic’d up moments.
