The Mariners literally staged a wild west brawl in their clubhouse hours before game time Tuesday night:
Shortstop Jean Segura, catcher Mike Zunino and other players were involved in the skirmish.
Moments after center fielder Dee Gordon politely asked reporters to leave the locker room, the double doors burst open with players shoving and shouting.
“Things happen in a clubhouse,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “Our guys are working through it and talking through it. It’s unfortunate, but it happens.”
The most famous of these was the Cliff Johnson fight with Goose Gossage in 1979 that injured Gossage. It appears no one was hurt in this one.
This does beg the question, does this count as domestic violence? Should all these Mariners be suspended for hitting what is essentially a family member? MLB has fairly low tolerance for players hitting spouses and children. Shouldn’t this extend to the clubhouse? It’s basically the same thing.
