Eight Dragons in addition to manager Donnie Scott were suspended for three games each, and each was fined an undisclosed sum, believed to be $150 each, the same as the Chiefs, who had seven players suspended as well as interim manager Carmelo Martinez.
The two biggest punishments went to Martinez — 20 games, $1,500 — and Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo, who not only was part of the July 24 brawl at Fifth Third Field, but inadvertently threw a ball into the stands, striking a fan in the forehead. Castillo, who was removed from the Peoria roster by the parent Cubs the day after the fight, was suspended for 60 games (running into next season) and fined $1,000.
In addition, the Chiefs' players were fined a lump sum of $1,200 for leaving their positions. While the Dragons did not announce the amount of their fines (they also face a lump-sum assessment), they are believed to be about the same.
