Cade Cavalli's comment to Willson Contreras sparks fan heckling

Tensions arose between the Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox recently when Cade Cavalli told Willson Contreras to 'sit down, boy!' after striking him out. Cavalli later acknowledged the comment's inappropriate historical context and expressed regret. Contreras and Cavalli received suspensions for the incident, with Cavalli's reduced to five games. During the Red Sox's game against the Chicago White Sox, a fan heckled Contreras by shouting, 'Sit down, girl!' This heckling was noted as being potentially linked to the earlier controversy involving Cavalli.
