97.1 The Ticket -- News broke late Tuesday night that Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig was being traded north to Cleveland, in a three-team deal involving the Indians and Padres.
As fans were digesting the news that Puig was about to be an Indian and pitcher Trevor Bauer was about to become a Red, the night took quite the twist -- Puig was involved in a massive scuffle with the Pirates at Great American Ballpark.

July 31, 2019 It was unclear what led to the brawl, but Reds pitcher Amir Garrett came off the mound during a mound visit and charged at the entire Pirates' dugout, punching one player in the process. Puig is then seen running in and shoving several players.

July 31, 2019 The Reds are reportedly giving up Puig and Minor Leaguer Taylor Trammell, while they're set to receive Bauer. Cleveland will receive Logan Allen and Franmil Reyes from San Diego, who will acquire Trammell.
