After signing a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in November 2024, pitcher Blake Snell faced criticism from San Francisco Giants fans, his former team’s supporters. One fan accused Snell of choosing money over greatness, to which Snell retorted on Instagram, “Go Dodgers 💙 Be upset with your team. Don’t hate when you don’t know anything other than where I signed.”
Snell’s move to the Dodgers came after a notable 2024 season with the Giants, highlighted by a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds on August 2, 2024. Despite his contributions, Snell opted out of his two-year contract with the Giants to join their rivals, a decision he described as “really easy,” citing a desire to live in Los Angeles and the team’s strong lineup.
This transition has intensified the longstanding rivalry between the Giants and Dodgers, with Snell’s direct responses to fans adding fuel to the fire. His engagement on social media demonstrates his commitment to his new team and his readiness to confront criticism head-on.
