MLB Writer Jeff Passan Completely Obliterates Troll In His Comments Section

ESPN MLB writer Jeff Passan knows how to handle a troll.

On Tuesday night, Passan was reporting on Zack Scott, the Mets GM who was arrested for a DUI early Tuesday morning. When Passan made mention that Scott was attending a fundraiser held by team owner Steve Cohen earlier in the night of the arrest, a guy stepped in to question the relevance, as well as Passans’ reporting methods.

And? I guess you're desperately trying to smear Cohen because you've got nothing else to do.

When Dave Wohl dropped his comment, Jeff Passan had the perfect response waiting.

I suppose whatever I have to do is better than what you have to do, which is visit your son in jail.

Sure enough, the Jeff Passan response got under the troll’s skin.

My son isn't in jail, asshole. Nor has he ever been. Just more lies and fake news from a guy who specializes in it. https://t.co/7AZpCYDGRC

Do you want to add another defamatory blurb before you're done, loser?

Wikipedia was also quick to take note of the murder Jeff Passan just committed.

I think the lesson learned here is to never go into Jeff Passan’s comment section looking for trouble.

As for the DUI arrest, it appears as though Zack Scott had attended a gathering at Steve Cohen’s well before the officers found him in the wee hours of Tuesday morning asleep in his car.
