GLENDALE, Ariz. — Mike Clevinger wanted to speak with the media on opening day of Chicago White Sox camp to address what he called the “elephant in the room.”
While Clevinger avoided most questions about MLB’s investigation into domestic violence allegations levied against him by Olivia Finestead, the mother of one of his children, he asked fans to “trust the process” and give him a chance to prove his innocence.
“There’s a reason I’m sitting in front of you today,” Clevinger said Wednesday at the Sox complex at Camelback Ranch. “I’m just asking everyone to wait before they rush to judgment. Wait until the actual facts are out there, wait until there’s actual evidence and then make your decision on who you think I am.”
