Major League Baseball looks at Alex Cora’s comments that suggested The Red Sox threw at Aaron Judge on purpose.
The league was reviewing the situation with no decision made late Monday morning.
Cora, the Red Sox manager, suggested Sunday that his team had its “chance” for retribution on Saturday.
On Saturday, Gerrit Cole hit Rafael Devers in the first inning and issued an intentional walk to Devers in the fourth.
Cora was upset, feeling that the intentional walk turned out to be intentional on the hit-by-pitch because the Yankees ace didn’t want to face Devers.
Asked on Sunday if the feud was over, Cora said: “It was closed [Saturday] around the sixth round. We had our chance. That didn’t happen.”
In Saturday’s sixth inning, Brayan Bello threw a first-pitch fastball behind the umpire’s leg.
The pitch didn’t make contact with Judge, who later flew out at bat.
Cora said he spoke to Judge after the game in a conversation that was “professional.”
Judge declined to reveal much about that talk but understood the Red Sox’s anger.
“You play this game for a while, things happen,” Judge said after homering in a Yankees victory Sunday in The Bronx. “I think they’re just protecting their players. Something has to happen. That’s how this game gets policed. I think the biggest thing is, just don’t miss when you’re doing it.”
