1 evening before, Pederson experienced described that the rift had begun on a text chain last year, when he was accused of cheating in a fantasy football league amongst various MLB players.
“Unfortunate problem. Type of stemmed from a fantasy soccer league we both of those were in past 12 months,” Pederson mentioned Friday night. “I set any person, a participant, on the wounded reserve when they have been listed as out and additional a different participant. And then there was a textual content message in the group indicating that I was cheating since I was stashing gamers on my bench. I seemed up the procedures and sent a screenshot of the procedures, how it suggests when a player is dominated out, you are authorized to set him on the IR. Which is all I was carrying out.
“It just so happened that [Pham] had a player, Jeff Wilson, that was out, and he had him on IR. I stated, ‘You literally have the exact factor on your staff, on your bench.’ I guess he was in two leagues and in 1 of them [Wilson] was on the IR and in a single of them, he wasn’t, so possibly that was a confusion. In the ESPN league we were being in, it was mentioned as out. It feels very related to what I did. That was in essence all of it, there is not significantly extra to it.”
