Here’s the initial explanation from ⁦Arizona Diamondbacks⁩ Manager Torey Lovullo re the incident in Chicago where a ⁦Chicago White Sox⁩ fan verbally abused Ketel Marte.

@Dbacks @whitesox I’m a Yankees fan, but what happened to Ketel Marte was beyond baseball. No player deserves that kind of cruelty. Sending love and respect to Ketel and the entire Diamondbacks organization. Some things are bigger than rivalries. 💔 #Yankees #Dbacks

@Dbacks @whitesox From a Dodger fan here. I absolutely love the way Torey sticks up for his players. Not afraid to show his emotions whether it’s happy or sad. Good manager.

@Dbacks @whitesox Only you could get that interview, @ToddWalsh You handled it like a pro

@Dbacks @whitesox Clearly this team will run through a brick wall for Torey. Time to dig deep, and go on a run. I love where this team is right now. Nobody but JustUs!

@Dbacks @whitesox Well said, coach.

@Dbacks @whitesox Say what you want about some of his in game decisions, but Torey is a genuine leader of men and this is a shining example of that.

@Dbacks @whitesox We gotta do better 🙏

@Dbacks @whitesox To purposely cause hurt/pain to someone during a baseball game, an event that is meant to be fun & entertaining, is a diabolical character trait. I sympathize w/ @ketel_marte4 & the emotions he felt. I hope the perpetrator seeks help, as they clearly have deeper issues.

@Dbacks @whitesox So embarrassed as a @whitesox fan, apologies to Marte and his family, that fan does not represent all of us

@Dbacks @whitesox As a Dodger fan I have tremendous respect for Tori for what he did today and have always been a fan of Kietel Marte he one great player
