Tony Bernazard attempted to fight players from the Double-A Binghamton Mets, and removed his shirt in the process. It’s so weird I can’t even process this, so I’ll leave it to Adam Rubin to fill you in. GM Omar Minaya acknowledged Bernazard spoke to the B-Mets in a "stern voice," but said he had no knowledge of the scope being portrayed.Bernazard particularly went after middle infield prospect Jose Coronado, using a slang term associated with a woman's anatomy, a source indicated. The confrontation happened about 10 days before the All-Star break, according to insiders.
"I know he did have a team meeting with them," Minaya told the Daily News. "It was not a 'you-guys-have-been-great meeting.' I know he spoke to them in a stern voice. But as far as what he was wearing, what kind of shoes he was wearing, I don't know anything about that." Rubin goes on to note that Bernazard recently verbally attacked his deputy during a recent game at Citi Field.
