Lucas Giolito has savage response for Josh Donaldson’s ‘hand’s not sticky’ trash talk

Josh Donaldson continues to be at the center of the MLB foreign substances controversy … and he’s not even a pitcher.

Earlier this month, he’s wondered aloud about New York Yankees pitcher Gerritt Cole no longer using substances to get a better spin rate.
