MLB has now been dragged into the Donald Sterling fiasco in the form of Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, according to an ESPN.com report.

Sterling, the owner of the NBA's Clippers, is under fire for racist comments he made to girlfriend V. Stiviano, who is Mexican and black. That tape was released to TMZ.com, but a different part of the tape not previously released was leaked to Deadspin.com and that version makes mention of Kemp.

Kemp was stunned to see his name mentioned with Sterling's when he woke up Sunday morning.

"I was shocked," Kemp said. "I was really shocked. I haven't been to a basketball game since maybe last year, and I did take my mom. I met the young lady, I've known her through mutual people. We all sat in the same [area].

"I remember taking the picture, but I didn't think it would ever come to this. This is crazy."
