In a social media post Friday, he said that he wasn't offended by what Kaat said, and that he didn't mind what he said.
He wrote that Jim Kaat has been in the game for a long time. He didn't need to apologize to me because he reached out to me. We all make mistakes, but we don't think there was malice in them. I will be lifting him up with this message. Jim has no sweat here.
