It is almost unobjectionable that the fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers hate the Houston Astros , the team that cheated does a few seasons in the majors, including in 2017, when they won the World Series against LA
An example of this was when an artist created a mural of pitcher Joe Kelly in Los Angeles last year and local fans celebrated him for showing the pitcher making fun of the Astros.
So when it was reported this week that the Dominican pitcher Pedro Báez, with a long career with the Dodgers, reached an agreement to sign with Houston , the reaction of the fans was not good.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the agreement is for two years with an option for a third and only the physical exam was pending.
Many fans expressed themselves on social networks before the news.

Good riddance. Always thought he was trash anyways. It figures where he eventually wound up. pic.twitter.com/2BAAeD9TUR

But there were other fans who appreciated the services of the right-hander, who in seven seasons in Los Angeles had a record of 21-15, 3.03 clean runs, 369 strikeouts and 120 walks at 120 innings as middle reliever.
Thanks for some big outs, Pedro! Glad he got to leave on a very high note. pic.twitter.com/5HhdLVoyoT
