Bass is apologetic for the distraction but resolute in his convictions
General manager Ross Atkins spoke at length about the controversy on Thursday, his first detailed public commentary following the incident that blew up on a team off day on May 29. He spoke, but didn’t manage to say much to diffuse a situation that has the potential to be a huge distraction over the next couple of days.
When we asked Atkins on Thursday how concerned he is about the Bass blowup causing a distracting for Pride events on Friday and Saturday, he replied: “It’s worthy. Whatever the distraction, we understand why it’s there.” “I know that we are going to do everything we can to make it as inclusive as possible,” Atkins said, when asked if added security would be in place.
