Baltimore restaurant offers Machado crab cakes for life after brawl
Manny Machado will likely earn a decent suspension for charging the mound and punching Yordano Ventura after getting hit with a 99-mph fastball Tuesday night, but at least he won't be hungry as he serves his time.
Not long after the fracas at Camden Yards, Jimmy's Seafood - the restaurant that promised Chris Davis free crab cakes, steamed crabs, and meal prep in perpetuity for re-signing with Baltimore this offseason - made the same offer to Machado for throwing down with Ventura.

After the heated affair, Machado told reporters he had no regrets about going after Ventura. Makes sense. Suspensions end. Crab cakes are forever.
Machado isn't the only MLB player to get some love from a local eatery for exchanging blows on the diamond, either, as a Texas barbeque joint offered Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor free grub for life for clocking Jose Bautista at Globe Life Park back on May 15.
