Even after meeting with the New York Yankees, Goose Gossage expressed no regrets over his ESPN interview in which he criticized Jose Bautista, Yoenis Cespedes and the "nerds" who are ruining baseball.

"Everything is good," Gossage said. "I lost my mind for a minute. You are talking to an old-school guy. There are things I have a hard time with. The game taught me a long time ago, control what you can control. This is what it is and I said what I said."

Gossage participated in camp as a guest instructor Friday and said he understood where the Yankees were coming from but didn't wish to take back any of his words, some of which he repeated on radio shows in New York and Chicago.

"I said what I said," Gossage said. "I was passed the torch about a certain way to act. Flipping the bat isn't part of that. All the things I said about Bautista just came to my mind and I got it off my chest."
