MLB podcast host and team insider Jared Carrabis doesn't think so. After Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Houston Astros, Willson Contreras and Marcelo Mayer appeared to be at odds over what's causing the Boston Red Sox 's offensive struggles . Contreras called out the team's younger players for not having enough experience to pull out of their slumps, per MassLive's Sean McAdam .
A few minutes later, however, Mayer disagreed. "To me, that's just kind of an excuse: blame the young guys," Mayer said via McAdam. "I don't think we're doing a good job with runners in scoring position.
When you don't do that, you don't score runs. " Those differing quotes appeared to portray a potential conflict between Contreras and Mayer. Carrabis quickly quashed those rumors, however, saying everything is fine between the two teammates.
