Cade Cavalli Suspended After 'Sit Down, Boy' Outburst | Adelaide News

Baseball’s biggest moment of reckoning: Nationals’ Cade Cavalli and Red Sox’s Willson Contreras each get seven-game suspensions after a benches-clearing brawl sparked by Cavalli yelling “Sit down, boy” at Contreras. The incident led to four ejections and undisclosed fines. Cavalli apologized, saying he lost his edge and didn’t mean racial harm, while Contreras, a Venezuelan player, acknowledged the word’s heavy history and trusted MLB’s investigation. Both men expressed regret, especially Cavalli, who fears the impact on young Black fans. Suspensions begin Friday, with appeals possible.
