Escobar would reply to those comments:
There is no person more committed to the work and the team than me. every day every game I give my 200% every game lost affects me as if it were the last of the season. My teammates and I are working hard every day, every game to give our best and bring joy to all the fans.

but messages like these annoy me a lot and make me very angry and more when it comes to my family. I ask respect for my family and myself.

Former Baystars player Inoh Shoichi also responded to the disgusting comment writing, “I will not forgive the person who slandered Esky yesterday❗️What you should not do for any reason❗️I want the team to deal with this matter. I want to help if there is anything I can do👍”.
昨日、エスキーに誹謗中傷した人のことは、許ない❗️
どんな理由であってっもしてはいけないこと❗️
今回のことは、チームからでも対処してもらいたい❗️
何か出来る事があれば手助けをしたい👍#誹謗中傷#エスコバー#横浜DeNAベイスターズ— 井納翔一/Shoichi Inoh (@shoichi_0501) April 3, 2023
The official “Yokohama DeNA Baystars” Twitter also said, “Please refrain from slanderous acts such as slander” and “We may take legal action against illegal posts such as insults and threats”.
