Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton walked back on his comments that minor leaguers being exploited is "for the betterment of everybody."
In an Instagram post, Eaton wrote Tuesday that "it's not ok to exploit anyone in any profession" and "minor leaguers deserve better."
"They deserve more money," Eaton wrote. "They deserve better conditions. Period. My quotes are simply from my personal experience. I wouldn’t trade my minor league experience for anything. As difficult as it was, it has made me the ball player/person I am today. I’m sorry if I offended anyone in anyway. Wasn’t my intentions."
