Mets teammates Brett Baty and Eduardo Escobar don't just bond over their shared third base position.
No, the veteran and the prized prospect also like to bond over singing Backstreet Boys at the top of their lungs.
In a sign of how much the vibes in the Mets dugout have changed for the better in recent games, Baty and Escobar were belting along from the dugout at Citi Field while the nightly eighth inning karaoke segment played "I Want it That Way" through the stadium speakers while New York was putting the finishing touches on a series sweep over the Guardians and a fifth straight win.
Escobar has ceded playing time to Baty, who the franchise hopes is their next third base cornerstone, and expressed an excitement to work with Baty at the position at the start of spring training. Clearly, the two have a strong relationship, and a shared love of boy bands.
