A day after a harsh exchange between Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera, the New York Yankees relievers say their relationship is fine.
"We did talk," Rivera said. "It's good. Sometimes you have little things that we say that we don't mean. We're a family here. It's something that we take care of in house. Unfortunately it happened in front of you guys, but again, it shouldn't happen. We apologize and we move on."
On Saturday, Chamberlain publicly warned Rivera not to "shush" him.
Chamberlain denied that he had apologized to Rivera -- "There's no need to apologize. For what?" -- but said he and Rivera had "joked and laughed" afterward.
"It's over with, it's done, it's really not an issue in the first place,'' Chamberlain said.
