Giants outfielder Joc Pederson offered his side of the story Saturday after his fantasy football dispute with Reds outfielder Tommy Pham came to light following a confrontation prior to Friday’s game against the Reds.
Pham was scratched from the contest after reportedly slapping the Giants outfielder over a disagreement the two had in a fantasy football league last year. On Saturday morning, Pham told the media he received a three-game suspension for his actions, which he claimed happened because Pederson was “messing with my money.”
Pederson was asked about the suspension following the Giants’s loss to the Reds on Saturday, and told reporters he had not spoken with Pham since he left the league in Week 4 or 5.
