In an interview with journalist Yancen Pujols that was translated from Spanish, he broke down the incident. He said in the seventh inning, he came to the plate against the White Sox when he heard a Chicago fan "saying stuff about my mom"

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte said he was brought to tears during Tuesday's road game against the Chicago White Sox when a fan shouted that he had texted Marte's late mother.

Marte, 31, told “Danny Beisbol” on Thursday that the fan, who was banned indefinitely from all MLB ballparks, yelled, “I sent your mom a text last night.” Marte's mother died in 2017.
