Cal Raleigh wants the Seattle Mariners to be one big happy family again. And after what happened on Monday, that means squashing the unexpected and, frankly, needless controversy swirling around him and Randy Arozarena at the World Baseball Classic.
After Arozarena said his piece about a denied handshake in Monday's game between USA and Mexico in a rather forceful manner, Raleigh had his chance to respond on Tuesday. He mostly hit all the right notes with comments issued to members of the media, including Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.
"I love Randy" was a good note to hit.
