MLB fans happy to see Matt Dermody DFA'd after Jose Ramirez tears him apart
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez was the star of the game on Thursday, hitting three home runs in one game for the first time in his career. His exploits led to Red Sox pitcher Matt Dermody being DFA'd by the Boston Red Sox after the game.
Dermody has history of homophobic behavior in the past and MLB fans were not happy when he was called up from the minor leagues. As a result, Ramirez's two homers off the pitcher made the Dominican a champion of the LGBTQ+ community.
Overall, the game was an exciting watch for all the home fans despite the antics from Sir Yacht before the start of the game.
