Cubs manager Joe Maddon met with ESPN analyst Alex Rodriguez to clear the air before Sunday night's game against the Nationals after Rodriguez made controversial comments about right-hander Yu Darvish two weeks ago during a broadcast.
"Alex and I had a really nice discussion," Maddon said. "I felt good about it. Hopefully he felt equally the same."
Rodriguez indeed echoed Maddon's description of their talk.
"We had a brief, very positive conversation," Rodriguez said.
