Tension is brewing between Seattle Mariners teammates, Randy Aarizarena and Cal Raleigh during the World Baseball Classic. Aarizarena plays for Mexico, while Raleigh is on the United States team. The drama unfolded after Mexico's loss to the United States and pool play. During the game, Aarizarena extended his hand before his first ad bet, but Raleigh, catching for the U.S., did not shake it and said something from. Behind his mask, Aarizarena took it personally and vented frustration afterward. Mexico's manager stayed calm at his pre-game press conference on March 11th before facing Italy. He brushed off concerns, saying the players would sort it out back at Mariners' camp since they are grown men. Aarizarena had struggled early, going two for nine in his first three games. Raleigh responded quickly, insisting there is no bad blood. He said they already talked it over and considers Aarizarena like a brother.
