Yasiel Puig still doesn’t want to talk to Joe Torre. Per the Indians Twitter account, Puig has dropped his appeal for the three-game suspension he was given for his role in the melee that was his last action as a member of the Reds.
While this is a disappointment, as every single Indians fan without exception has discovered their love for the Wild Horse’s indomitable passion on the field, it was a near certainty Puig would miss time for his actions in the benches-clearing incident. In case you need a reminder or simply want to see the absolute madness that was the Reds-Pirates clash, it began with Keone Kela throwing at Derek Dietrich’s head and hit fever pitch when Amir Garrett decided to fight all of Pittsburgh by himself.
