Former Cincinnati Reds Raisel Iglesias of the Angels and Jesse Winker of the Mariners were among those suspended Monday after a brawl Sunday between the two teams.
A post-brawl shouting match between Iglesias and Winker - and tantrum by the Angels' relief pitcher that involved hurling sunflower seeds onto the field - had many wondering why there appeared to be such bad blood between the two, who were teammates in Cincinnati from 2017 to 2020.
And it was a pitch the night before by Mariners pitcher and former Mariemont High School standout Erik Swanson - one of 13 players from Greater Cincinnati on MLB rosters - that appeared to arouse the Angels' anger.
