San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson said Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham slapped him prior to Friday's game over a dispute about their fantasy football league.
, might have been a player Pham had in two different leagues, leading to a possible mix-up.
"Maybe that was a confusion," he added."In the ESPN league we were in, he was listed as out. It feels very similar to what I did. That was basically all of it. There's not much more to it."The Giants outfielder said he didn't retaliate after being slapped, and he has no plans to reengage Pham while the team is in Cincinnati.
"Violence isn't the answer. It's over as far as I'm concerned," Pederson said."I won't talk to him. I don't think he wants to talk to me, I don't know. It was a weird interaction."
