Matt Carpenter wants to lather Matt Adams in salsa now that he's back with the Cardinals

The Cardinals brought first baseman Matt Adams back to the team on Tuesday, claiming him on waivers from the Nationals. The news not only made it quickly to his new, and former, teammate Matt Carpenter , but Carp didn't waste any time bringing his salsa obsession into it.

Carpenter puts salsa on everything. And after mastering a special recipe, in which he credits "love" as being one of the ingredients, he finds himself putting it on his Twitter account too -- right after the Adams' announcement was made:

Matt Adams “Big City” wanted some salsa when the Nationals were in town last week..Cordially I had to deny him of that request due to conflicting interests.. Now my friend I shall bathe you in it! #ItsGottaBeTheSalsa🍅🌶🔥 — Matt Carpenter (@MattCarp13) August 21, 2018

Carpenter did say he eats "about a Mason jar of salsa" per day, so he may have to skip a few of those indulgences in order to make sure he has enough salsa to "bathe Adams in it."

Until then ...
