New York Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes said he was not offended by an insensitive remark made by Minnesota Twins broadcaster Jim Kaat, who is now no stranger to finding himself in hot water for comments made on air.
"I'm sure, you know, he didn't really mean it, and people make mistakes, but it didn't offend me at all,'' Cortes said, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). "So, you know, I don't really have anything more than just that, honestly."
Kaat called Cortes "Nestor the Molestor" while working in the broadcast booth during Thursday's game between the Twins and Detroit Tigers.
