Cade Cavalli expresses regret over comments towards Willson Contreras

Cade Cavalli addressed his controversial comment made during Tuesday night's game against the Red Sox, where he told Willson Contreras to, 'Sit down, boy,' after striking him out. Following the remark, a benches-clearing brawl ensued, resulting in multiple ejections. Cavalli stated he did not intend any ill will and is 'extremely torn up' about the reaction, especially considering the impact his words may have on young fans. Nationals president Paul Toboni noted that Cavalli was unaware of the potential for a negative interpretation of his words. The incident is now under review by MLB.
