Junior Caminero had no problem rubbing salt in the Yankees’ wound after the Rays swept the Bronx Bombers out of the playoffs. 

The Rays third baseman taunted Yankees fans after Bryan Baker struck out Trent Grisham for the game’s final out and secured the ALDS sweep at Yankee Stadium. 

The TNT broadcast captured Caminero mimicking a sweeping broom while looking into the stands before going over to join his teammates in celebration.

Caminero wasn’t done there. 

MLB posted a video on social media of Caminero doing an impression of David Ortiz by saying his signature “da Yankees lose!”

Caminero did it while he was on the field, shouting the phrase and putting his hand against his head to mimic sleep. 

He shouted it again while speaking with Spanish-speaking media inside the Rays clubhouse and another time when TNT’s Lauren Shehadi interviewed him.

“The best! The best! Sweep!” Caminero shouted when Shehadi asked him about celebrating a series victory at Yankee Stadium. “Da Yankees lose!”

The two-time Rays All-Star batted .300 during the series with three hits. 

While celebrating inside the clubhouse, Caminero also told Shehadi that he is “the best in the world.”
