Statement from Domingo Germán, through Yankees PR: "It is important to me that I have the opportunity to speak directly with my teammates both individually and collectively and address them face to face before I speak to the media and our fans. This process has begun, but more time is needed, especially since half our team has yet to report to spring training. I recognize that speaking publicly will be an important step for me and I will do so in the upcoming days."
Aaron Boone said that Domingo Germán talked to the team (around 30 min.) Germán talked to pitchers and catchers as a group and addressed the position players separately. Boone: "It was a good step; something that was important to happen and gave everyone a chance to really start that conversation."
