Former MLB star Yasiel Puig ended up in the middle of a massive brawl during the finals of the Venezuelan winter league.

Tempers flared Wednesday after Tiburones de La Guaira shortstop Maikel Garcia, who plays for the Kansas City Royals, shouted at the Cardenales de Lara's dugout while rounding the bases following a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning:

Puig was part of several fights during his time in the majors, including a memorable brawl between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates in July 2019 that resulted in the former All-Star receiving an eight-game suspension.
