The San Francisco Giants chimed in on the Joc Pederson-Tommy Pham fantasy football dispute, wearing shirts Monday that stated "Fantasy football 101: Stashing players on the IR isn't cheating."

Pham, who plays for the Cincinnati Reds, didn't find the shirts amusing:
They really played themselves bcuz now All I have to do is release the IR rules in the league and the text how I told Joc I was gonna pimp slap him for cheating
— Tommy Pham (@TphamLV) June 14, 2022
The Reds outfielder was suspended for three games in late May for slapping Giants outfielder Pederson over an issue in their fantasy league. Pederson later revealed that Pham was provoked by a year-long feud about an ineligible player getting stashed on injured reserve.
Pham also called out Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout for doing a "terrible job" as their league commissioner.
The Reds and Giants will play a three-game series starting on June 24.
