Puig's brawl with Reds or Bauer's tantrum toss, whose exit was uglier?

"Everything can have drama if it's done right," Julia Child famously said. "Even a pancake."

We got much more than a pancake on Tuesday. As front offices were busy exchanging phone calls on trade deadline eve, the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates were busy exchanging punches, the final act of a season-long simmering feud between the two clubs. Indeed, a few minutes after reports leaked about the three-team blockbuster trade that sent Trevor Bauer to the Reds and Yasiel Puig to the Indians, there was the spirited Puig -- still in the game in the top of the ninth inning -- in the middle of the melee, several teammates and coaches eventually holding him back before he self-combusted.
