Escobar thru translator: "i'm sorry for what happened. It will never happen again. It was meant as a joke. I have friends who are gay."
Dan Shulman @DShulman_ESPN
Escobar again: "It's just something said amongst Latino players, it's not meant to be offensive."
Dan Shulman @DShulman_ESPN
And one more from Escobar: "it was a joke. It was my idea. It wasn't meant towards anyone in particular."
