The Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners kick off the ALCS tomorrow night and many are wondering if the beef between catcher Cal Raleigh and manager John Schneider will add fuel to the fire this series.
Both teams have until tomorrow morning to finalize their roster for the series with some major decisions to make especially when it comes to the Blue Jays and Bo Bichette.
Passed disputes between Cal Raleigh and John Schneider intensify the ALCS
There's some beef going into the ALCS.
This sound bite was from April 2023, after Raleigh hit a three-run home run in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

When asked about these comments the following season, Raleigh stated that a lot of guys in the league are not a fan of Schneider and stated that if he has nothing nice to say, he should just keep it to himself.
Asked if he heard the comments by John Schneider last year, Raleigh said: "I know a lot of guys have beef with him in the league. So his comments aren't surprising. I don't have much to say. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all, if you don't want it to come back on you."
While this season there seems to have been nothing between the two when the teams faced each other there is certainly no love lost here.
The Blue Jays went 4-2 this season against the Mariners which hopefully will be the same came for this series which would grant them a trip to the World Series.
