With Major League Baseball (MLB) is going through the owners’ lockout, league commissioner Rob Manfred has put a restriction on any game activities. And it seems like players are also missing being on the pitch. Hence, players and fans alike have found different ways to keep themselves busy and entertained during the lockout. Recently, Chicago Cubs star pitcher Marcus Stroman hilariously trolled New York Mets’ Trevor May for his catch miss during the 2021 season.

Stroman, who himself played for New York Mets in 2019 and 2021, signed a three-year deal worth $71 million with Chicago Cubs this season. Notably, Stroman made his Major League Baseball debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and played five seasons for the Jays, from 2014 to 2019.
