Dragons release Cabrera in first fallout from brawl
While the defining moment for most will be Thursday's bench-clearing brawl with the Peoria Chiefs, Dayton Dragons manager Donnie Scott said it was just one of several incidents that led to the release of second baseman Angel Cabrera this morning.
...
Earlier this season, Scott said, Cabrera elbowed the Chiefs first baseman twice in Peoria. He also acted a little too joyously when he hit a walk-off homer to win Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, then reacted angrily when the Chiefs hit him in the first inning of Thursday's game.

When Cabrera reacted to that by sliding into second spikes high to break up a double play, tempers began to get out of control.

That last paragraph may be the understatement of the year.

There is plenty more at the Dayton Daily News.
