Yankees’ Nestor Cortes deactivates Twitter account after outdated tweets floor

New York Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes apologized and deactivated his Twitter account Monday after outdated tweets he wrote a couple of decade in the past surfaced on-line Sunday. 

The tweets integrated the usage of racial slurs, and Cortes mentioned he wrote them when he was once a teen. 

“I felt love it wasn’t the precise message that I sought after to ship out when I used to be 17 years outdated,” the left-hander mentioned sooner than Monday’s recreation in opposition to the Baltimore Orioles. “Those came about 10 years in the past. I deactivated my Twitter to scrub stuff up.”
