“I simply need to be sure that we’re OK, as a result of I felt like yesterday we received alongside similar to we at all times get alongside,” Flaherty mentioned. “However after the sport, I heard we don’t like one another, so are we alright?”
Later within the change, Marakovits mentioned that there was loads of chatter within the Yankees’ clubhouse and that individuals wished to know if the awkward back-and-forth was actual — which shocked Kay and Flaherty, who mentioned that occurs “on a regular basis.”
“I really like you,” Kay mentioned. “We’re nice.”
“Effectively I don’t know if I’m gonna go love, however I actually like you numerous,” Flaherty jokingly replied, which then prompted Kay to say that this was going to get “written about once more” after that line.
