The incident began when a fan tweeted Kay directly, challenging him to defend Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who has had trouble getting his club to compete at a World Series level despite having a star-studded roster led by Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay trends after fan exposes bizarre Twitter DM <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jKGTFXxCYy\">https:\/\/t.co\/jKGTFXxCYy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sports Illustrated (@SInow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SInow\/status\/1654146418108428294?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kay sent a very long direct message to the fan via Twitter, daring the user to find an instance of him defending Cashman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou give me a quote, or a sentence where I defended Cashman on the air tonight, any proof you can come up with, and I will make a sizable donation to your favorite charity.
