Donaldson has appealed the suspension and has denied that he had any racist intent. He said the comment was a reference to a 2019 Sports Illustrated interview in which Anderson said he viewed himself as a modern-day Robinson. Anderson said he didn't have a strong opinion on MLB's decision to suspend Donaldson and fine him an undisclosed amount. Anderson did confirm he had a brief conversation in 2019 in which Donaldson called him"Jackie."
Anderson shoved Donaldson on May 13 following a hard tag in Chicago, which also led to the benches emptying. "I think people always change and evolve and hopefully get better," Boone said."Some people are more provocative than others. Some people are quiet, some people are outgoing, everyone’s a little bit different, but to say people can’t evolve and change and grow, no, I don’t think that’s, I never close the book on any of that with anyone."
