Tim Anderson gets a SIX game suspension after an on-field brawl…while Jose Ramirez gets just three games – despite being the one to land a brutal right hook

Tim Anderson has been suspended for six games despite a punch from the Cleveland Guardians’ Jose Ramirez.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase will also have to miss a game, according to him ESPN.

All three players were notified of their suspensions Monday, just two days after the fight broke out at Cleveland’s Progressive Field in front of fans, as it turned out to be one of the ugliest baseball fights in years.

Anderson and Ramírez were also fined an undisclosed amount. Both players are attractive.

Cleveland manager Terry Francona and third base coach Mike Sarbaugh are also suspended one game each. Chicago manager Pedro Grifol was also suspended for one game. In addition, White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech and Guardians rookie Gabriel Arias have been fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.

Francona and Clase will serve their suspensions on Monday as the Guardians open a four-game series with Toronto. Grifol will also serve his suspension on Monday when the White Sox host the New York Yankees. Sarbaugh plans to sit down Tuesday.

Losing Ramírez forever is a blow to the Guardians, who are trying to stay tied with the Minnesota Twins in first place in the AL Central. Cleveland starts the week four and a half games back.

The White Sox are 23 games under .500 and are already planning for next season after moving some veterans on the trade deadline.

Anderson and Ramirez traded several punches near second base in the sixth inning, with the Guardians’ All-Star third baseman landing a right pitcher on the White Sox shortstop’s chin, sending him falling backwards onto the dirt in the field .

Players and coaches from both teams joined in, and there were other outbursts during the protracted fight. It took the umpiring crew more than 15 minutes to get things under control so the game could resume. Chicago won 7-4.

The dustup started innocently enough as Ramirez slid headfirst to second on an RBI double. He dared to slip between Anderson’s legs and seemed upset by a hard blow. Ramirez jumped to his feet and the two exchanged words, with Ramirez pointing in Anderson’s face when umpire Malachi Moore tried to step in at second base.

Anderson then dropped his glove and challenged Ramirez by raising his hands and taking a boxing stance. The players threw punches with Ramirez connecting with a blind punch that dropped Anderson on his back and prompted both teams to get involved.

After the match, Ramirez said he was angry with Anderson for some past actions.

“He hasn’t respected the game for a while,” Ramirez said through interpreter Agustin Rivero. “It’s not from yesterday. It’s from before. I even had a chance to tell him during the game, ‘Don’t do this kind of thing. That’s disrespectful. Don’t start tagging people like that,’ because in reality we are “We’re trying to find ways to provide for our families here.”

When he got to his feet, Anderson kept trying to get hold of Ramirez.

He was led off the field only to return moments later and attempt to reach Ramirez before being physically carried into the dugout by teammate Andrew Vaughn, who put his arms around Anderson.

The White Sox and Guardians wrapped up their season series on Sunday and won’t face each other again until 2024.
