Mets third baseman Todd Frazier and Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton used to be teammates on the White Sox. Now, they have beef spanning multiple seasons.

Their back-and-forth, which began publicly last August, extended Monday when they needed to be separated between innings.

Last August a slide from Eaton injured infielder Phillip Evans and upset the Mets, and Frazier apparently told his former clubhouse-mate as much on the field the next day. Eaton was later seen reciprocating that animosity.

“When he usually talks or chirps, usually he says it just loud enough that you can hear him but you can’t understand him," Eaton told reporters afterward. "So I’ll just leave it at that.”

It remains unclear what led to the latest disagreement between Frazier and Eaton, but further details will likely be disclosed during postgame media availability.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
