The current champion Los Angeles Dodgers met with President Donald Trump on Monday, but a key player was remarkably absent.
The hard reliever Brusdar Graterol, along with others, lost the celebration.
Graterol is on the injured list and has not played this season, so that was his reasoning. Freddie Freeman, who is also on the injured list, was not seen in the celebration either.

However, Graterol’s publication in his Instagram stories did not help stop any skepticism.
On Monday afternoon, Graterol published a photo of him and his daughter, subtitling her, “in my brown house.”
Gardener Mookie Betts decided to go this year after opting for his trip with Boston’s red socks in 2019.
“It’s not about me; I don’t want anything to be about me. It’s about the Dodgers. Because these boys were there for me,” Betts said, through the Times.

Betts said he regretted not having made the trip in 2019, that manager Alex Cora and pitcher David Price also skipped, saying that he felt it was a distraction.
CORA recently admitted that it jumped By meeting Trump because he wanted to prioritize his country of origin from Puerto Rico. When the red socks visited the White House in May 2019, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and Cora was not satisfied with the federal government’s response.
The Dodgers defeated Trump’s hometown in the New York Yankees in five games last year.
