Josh Donaldson is a third baseman for the New York Yankees. He made a statement on Twitter before he played for the Yankees stating, in defense of José Altuve, Yankees and Red Sox fans didn’t have certain Hall of Fame players because of a separate cheating scandal.

I love people saying nonsense about Altuve not being a HOFer because they suspect him cheating. Please don’t forget if you were a Yankees/Redsox fan none of your guys are HOFers because both of them got caught using apple watches before the Astros got caught.
