Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has broken his silence since his Saturday night brawl with Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez resulted in him hitting the deck after getting punched in the jaw. Both All-Stars jawed at each other, with Ramirez pointing in Anderson’s face which led to dropping gloves and fists being thrown. Ramirez spoke through a translator after the game to address the incident, when he called out Anderson. Ramirez and Guardians manager Terry Francona never said what prompted the fight, though the latter said that Anderson was chirping at Guardians rookie Gabriel Arias. Suspensions loom for Anderson and Ramirez, as MLB investigates the situation and determines the right punishment for the two players who were ejected after the dust settled on Saturday.
