“We condemn Kevin Mather’s offensive and disrespectful comments about several players. We are proud of the international players who have made baseball better through their outstanding examples of courage and determination, and our global game is far better because of their contributions. His misguided remarks do not represent the values of our game and have no place in our sport,” said the league in a statement.
“Julio Rodríguez has got a personality bigger than all of you combined,” Mather said in the video, which has since been taken down, reported ESPN. “He is loud, his English is not tremendous.”
