On Friday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred downplayed his recent confrontation with Phillies star Bryce Harper, who reportedly told him to "get the f--- out of our clubhouse" if he was going to speak about a salary cap.

Friday, however, Manfred spoke at Wrigley Field to announce that the Cubs would host the 2027 All-Star Game, and he finally addressed his dispute with Harper, claiming: “It was an individual picking a particular way to express himself, and I don’t think you need to make more out of that than that,” per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
