ワールド・ベースボール・クラシックでチームUSAがチームメキシコを5-3で破った試合中、シアトル・マリナーズの捕手カル・レイリーはチームメイトのランディ・アロザレナからの握手を拒否した。アロザレナは試合後のインタビューで辛辣なコメントを残したが、その真剣さは不明だ。レイリーはその後アロザレナに連絡を取り、悪感情はないことと競技への集中を強調した。
この出来事は、2026年ワールド・ベースボール・クラシックのプールB戦で、ヒューストンのダイキン・パークで月曜日夜に起こった。メキシコ代表として打席に立ったランディ・アロザレナが、米国代表の捕手を務めるシアトル・マリナーズのチームメイト、カル・レイリーに手を差し出したところ、レイリーはそのジェスチャーに応じず、打席開始前に「いい気分だな」といったことを言ったとされる。
X上の議論では、この握手拒否をマリナーズのチームメイト、カル・レイリーとランディ・アロザレナ間の激しいWBCライバル関係の瞬間として描いている。レイリーは対立はないとし、ライアン・ディビッシュなどの記者によると明確化のため連絡したと強調。一部のユーザーは不要でチームの結束を害すると批判する一方、他は競争心だと見なす。メディア投稿ではアロザレナの試合後下品な暴言とビデオクリップが強調されている。

• Why mess with M’s team chemistry? https://t.co/DB9Q2U87AC pic.twitter.com/WhZQdI16FC
