Dansby Swanson Said An April Game At Wrigley Field Was One Of The Best Moments Of His Career Because He's Trying Way Too Hard To Be A Heel

Dansby, stop this nonsense. Please. I'm trying to help you.

I really don't get it. Nobody begrudged Dansby for taking a $177 million bag from the Cubs. He got paid and it was somewhere other than Atlanta. More power to him.

But in the very short time he's been in Chicago, Swanson has gone on a weird and cringe-inducing media tour where he's tried to act like he was playing in Oakland or something before this season. In spring training, he proclaimed that nobody cares about professional sports in Atlanta and now he wants people to believe he actually thinks an April game at Wrigley Field was one of the best atmospheres he's experienced in his career.

I, too, would rather beat the Mariners in the 10th game of the season than play in the World Series.

Anyone with half a brain knows Dansby doesn't believe this nonsense, but he's trying to pander to a new fanbase and a front office who backed a Brinks truck into his driveway. That's fine. But doing so at the expense of a place you spent the first six years of your career, won a championship and were a fan favorite — not to mention the fact it's Swanson's hometown which he has claimed to love so deeply — seems like a big miscalculation. Dansby has quickly gone from standing ovations when he visits Truist Park to some boos while he's still an opposing player and possibly silent indifference when he returns after his career for 2021 World Series reunions if he continues down this path.

This is probably his last chance to just shut the fuck up and take his $177 million before every single Braves fan truly turns against him. I don't want that to happen. Just please stop saying dumb shit that you don't mean, Dansby.
