Three Mariners players were penalized. Jesse Winker, who filled the Angels bench after being hit from the pitch by Andrew Wonz, was penalized with seven games, JP Crawford five and Julio Rodriguez two.
Nine players and members of the Angels coaching staff also received penalties, including manager Phil Nevin for 10 games.
Anthony Randon was penalized for five games when he returned from injury, Vanz for three games, Ray Tepera for three games and Raisel Iglesias for two games.
There were also penalties for the Angels assistant coach for guidance, bench coach, translator and catch coach.
All three players of the “sailors” will appeal, announced MLB on its website and the team is able to delay the stops, so that all three are not missing at once.
“If they throw [Wantz] outside, it stops, “Winker told MLB on Monday.” If he hits me and throws me out, I go to first base. If the cast and their manager don’t talk, nothing happens. But they were talking, and I didn’t want to talk. READ: Mass brawl overshadows Angels’ victory over Sailors
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s done,” Winker added. “We will just worry the next time we face them to defeat them. That’s all that matters.
“No one is here to talk to the media and no one is here to do this and that or to talk about fines, suspensions, whatever. This will happen independently, so we will defeat them.”
As the “sailors” already feel upset that an earlier pitch thrown by Wantz during Sunday’s match was close to Julio Rodriguez’s head, Wantz then hit Winker in the thigh.
This provoked angry scenes when the enraged Winker made his way to the Angels’ bench, which resulted in the emptying of both benches and eventually eight pushes.
Wantz has been banned from three deliberate throws to Winker, MLB said, and will not appeal. However, both Tepera and Iglesias are attractive and managed to play against the Chicago White Sox on Monday.
