is a fascinating one Keith. If the club were riding his bat and glove, and he came out pro-Wall in provocative language ... there you WOULD have a serious threat to clubhouse harmony. You'd have to have a club meeting, I'm sure, and guess is that Seager would need to smooth some feathers over with his Latin teammates.
But it says here Seager would know better than to do that -- not in terms of laws or employment contracts, but in terms of friendships -- and it says here that Clevenger probably was caught by total surprise that anybody intepreted his Tweet as anti-Black. They all know the code. Clevenger wouldn't have alienated half his teammates with an intentionally racist tweet.
In fairness, it could be that DiPoto flushed Clevenger because some of his teammates responded angrily and wanted it done. Many of these club suspensions seem based on the temperature in the room.
