The Houston Astros clubhouse incident between assistant general manager Brandon Taubman and a group of reporters, with Taubman aggressively shouting at them about how happy he was that the Astros acquired pitcher Roberto Osuna, was motivated by Taubman’s displeasure at one of the reporters having tweeted about domestic violence, per NPR.
David Folkenfilk says that the altercation was because one of the female reporters, who was wearing a purple bracelet for domestic violence awareness, would tweet the number of a domestic violence hotline when Osuna came into the game for the Houston Astros in 2018.
