CINCINNATI – Asdrubal Cabrera considered bringing a bobblehead with him to the Phillies clubhouse when he joined the team after being traded Friday from the Mets.
Perhaps that would be the way to break the tension between himself and new teammate Edubray Ramos, who tried beaning Cabrera last season after serving up a walk-off home run in 2016 that the Mets immortalized with a bobblehead of Cabrera with his mouth open and arms raised after an exuberant bat-flip.
But Cabrera left the bobblehead at home — “I have a lot,” he said — and the two shook hands Saturday as teammates laughed.
