The brawl started after Guaira’s Carlos Castro smashed a home run. Amid the celebration of the home run, Castro taunted Anzoategui’s dugout. Cabrera, who is an Anzoategui player, took note of Castro’s actions. Enraged by Castro’s celebratory move, Cabrera dealt a punch to Castro in response, and consequently, the benches got clear.

The two-time All-Star Cabrera is an MLB free agent who began playing for the Cleveland Indians in 2007. He last played an MLB game for the Cincinnati Reds in 2021. In between, he played for the Washington Nationals, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, and Arizona Diamondbacks. Cabrera won the World Series with the Nationals in 2019.?
