By Ty Duffy
TMZ and ESPN Deportes reporting Yasiel Puig was involved in a bar fight at the Blue Martini in Miami. Puig, per the report, had an altercation with his sister and staff members who tried to break it up.
"We spoke with employees at Blue Martini in Miami, who tell us Puig was drinking with his sister Wednesday night when they got into a heated argument … and things escalated when he pushed her. Bar staffers immediately rushed over to break it up, but Puig turned on them … getting physical with several staffers. The crew was eventually able to get Puig outside where they say he brutally sucker punched the manager, setting off a brawl."
Puig was not arrested. Neither side is pressing charges. Per TMZ, Puig had a “swollen left eye, and bumps and bruises to the face.”
There has been ample speculation the Dodgers could have Puig on the trade block this offseason.
