Drew Butera’s relationship with his father might get a little frigid this week.
Butera is a backup catcher for the Royals, and his dad, Sal, coaches for the Blue Jays, making for something of a house divided when the American League Championship Series begins Friday at Kauffman Stadium.
“I’ll talk to him before the games,” Drew said. “I’ll say hi. I mean, I’m not going to hug him, but I’ll say hi. It’s still business. Obviously, I love him and he’s my dad, but it’s still business. They’re trying to beat us as much as we’re trying to beat them.
