Jorge Lopez blamed the media.
Lopez, the soon-to-be ex-Mets reliever, claimed the media misheard his salacious postgame comments about his glove-throwing incident during Wednesday’s loss to the Dodgers.
The Mets are planning to designate Lopez for assignment, perhaps as soon as Thursday.
“I think I’ve been on the worst team in probably the whole f–king MLB,” Lopez seemingly said after the game.
Lopez, though, claimed on his Instagram Story that he actually said “teammate” instead of “team.”
“Who ever hear me I said teammate ‘ and what I said on the situation I been the worst teammate,” Lopez wrote. “Thanks media for make it worse.”
That explanation contradicts what he he told reporters when asked to clarify: “Did you say I’m on the worst team, is that what you had said.”
“Yeah, probably, it looked like,” Lopez said.

Regardless of whether he said team or teammate, Lopez infuriated Mets officials enough during an embarrassing display that they are moving on from him.
Lopez tossed his glove into the stands after being ejected, a big no-no, and didn’t need a do-over.
“No,” Lopez said. “I don’t regret it.”
