Green and Leroux Brawl, League Suspends Them
Friday, August 22nd, 2025
In an announcement today, the league informed Floyd Green of Havana and Cédric Leroux of Mile High that they both had been suspended 2 games for fighting in a recent game.
The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league."
Green wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment."
His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "Green is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime."
This year Green has hit at a .203 clip with 13 hits, 1 home run, 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
Thus far this season, Leroux has tossed 169.1 innings in 27 starts, fanned 112 batters, walked 55 and put up a 4.89 ERA with 6 wins and 8 losses.
