Canadian columnist: 'Prima donna' Jose Bautista deserved getting punched by Rougned Odor

Speaking for the first time since Sunday's benches-clearing brawl between the Rangers and Blue Jays, second baseman Rougned Odor said on Monday that he has no regrets over punching Toronto's Jose Bautista.

Some may feel differently, but Ottawa Sun columnist Don Brennan believes Odor should have gained some respect for "both himself and the game of baseball" with his actions.

In a Monday column, Brennan argued that Odor's actions were not disrespectful. Instead, he praised Odor for taking a "very honest and forthright" approach to the matter.

As for Bautista?
