Former New York Yankees star David Wells snapped back at former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on social media after the pitcher said he wouldn’t drink Bud Light again.

"Bulls—t," Olbermann wrote on X, the company formerly known as Twitter. "(David Wells) would drink wood alcohol. Another f---ing fraud."

Wells responded to Olbermann’s slight.

Wells weighed in on the Yankees' season, placing blame on the players.

"I don't care how much money you're making, send a message to him, and let him go sit down [to Triple-A] and think about it," he said.
