DETROIT -- Bruce Rondon will have some redemption to seek when he arrives at Spring Training in February. That was clear long before his involvement in a benches-clearing altercation in the Venezuelan Winter League earlier this month. He won't face discipline by the Tigers, but he'll face the challenge of earning a fresh start after a 2015 season he'd probably like to forget.
"I'm sure he'll take this as a learning experience," Tigers general manager Al Avila told Detroit Sports 105.1 FM last week.
Avila saw video of Rondon arguing with, then charging at, Pirates prospect Jose Osuna at first base, sparking a massive response that led to nine suspensions.
