FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Steven Wright can't say much about what happened in his Tennessee home on the night of Dec. 8. Not yet. Not until he speaks with the investigators from Major League Baseball.
But there is something the 33-year-old pitcher wants Boston Red Sox fans -- everybody, really -- to know.
"I never touched her," Wright said Wednesday.
Speaking after Red Sox pitchers and catchers completed their first workout of spring training, Wright said he never made physical contact with his wife, Shannon, on the night he was arrested at his home and charged with domestic assault and preventing a 911 call, both misdemeanors in Tennessee.
