Representatives for Carlos Martinez are requesting the man suing the Cardinals starter confirm whether or not a current teammate was involved in an alleged fight at a strip club parking lot. The request was made in court documents filed recently in an ongoing civil suit that was moved to federal court at the Southern District of Illinois.
A lawsuit brought against Martinez earlier this year alleges that the pitcher and a group of friends had attacked a St. Louis man in July 2014 outside a strip club near East St. Louis. That group, according to a public record, included the late Oscar Taveras and seeks confirmation that current Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna was also involved.
