Josh Donaldson continues to be at the center of the MLB foreign substances controversy … and he’s not even a pitcher.
Earlier this month, he’s wondered aloud about New York Yankees pitcher Gerritt Cole no longer using substances to get a better spin rate.
And on Tuesday, after hitting a home run off Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, he celebrated as he touched home plate by appearing to tell his teammates, “Hand’s not sticky anymore!”
Of course Giolito heard what the Minnesota Twins slugger said, and he responded in kind while speaking to reporters after the game.
“He’s an [expletive] pest. That’s kind of a classless move, if you’re going to talk [expletive], talk [expletive] to my face.”
Let’s break it all down.
