Keynan Middleton’s exit from the White Sox stirred up some controversy as the reliever, who was dealt to the Yankees at the MLB trade deadline, ripped his former team for its “no rules” culture. And it appears there’s some ill will over his comments in Chicago.
Middleton made a relief appearance against Chicago on Wednesday when New York visited Guaranteed Rate Field. When he took the mound, it appears the White Sox did not list his name on the scoreboard at the stadium.
Footage from the game posted to Twitter shows a blank space on the scoreboard where the pitcher’s name is typically listed. Middleton pitched two innings in the game, and his name was omitted for the entirety of his outing.
