OK, hands up everyone who heard “MLB GM Physically Assaulted By Player” and thought, “man, what did Ricciardi say this time?”.

Chacon just got released. I hope the Yankees pick him up. A club house with both Chacon and the Arubian Nightmare would be pretty awesome for team chemistry. I also read that Julian Tavarez refused a minor league assignment from the Brewers and is now a free agent. Here’s hoping that the Red Sox pick him up before they play Tampa Bay at the Trop on June 30th. Brawls just aren’t the same without that guy. Is Bat Shit Crazy one of those ‘intangibles’ that Michael Kay is always raving about?
From reading Shawn Chacons description of the incident and given Ed Wades documented proclivity for chair-throwing tirade-laden tantrums, I would not consider Chacon as being bat shit crazy for coming at Wade physically after repeatedly telling him in a calm manner to stop screaming at him. Chacon will be warmly welcomed in Philly regardless of whose uniform he may be wearing.
The funniest part of the incident was seeing how all the years that Wade spent working with Dallas Green rubbed off on him with his use of the stock Green phrase “look at yourself in the mirror”.
I’m sure that Chacon’s description of the incident were 1000% accurate.
