Controlling owner of the Cleveland MLB team, Paul Dolan, led an organization-wide meeting Tuesday to discuss potentially changing the team's nickname.
Tom Withers of the Associated Press reported the discussion also included president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti, general manager Mike Chernoff, manager Terry Francona and players.
"The way the players expressed themselves in a mature manner and in a respectful manner, and the way Paul listened and spoke back to the players," Francona said. "I was really, really happy and content to just sit there and let them talk back and forth."
The team released a statement July 3 saying it would be "engaging our community and appropriate stakeholders" about a possible name change:
Cleveland abandoned its "Chief Wahoo" logo in 2019.
