Washington (GCL)-Miami (GCL) Fight Results in Suspensions
Saturday, August 23rd , 2025
Yesterday at Roger Dean Stadium José Tapta and Bubba Shoemaker got into each other's space and then into each other's face. They began to grapple and fell to the ground. That's when it boiled over into a full-fledged bench-clearing tussle between the Washington (GCL) Nationals and Miami (GCL) Marlins. Reason finally prevailed as the umpires restored order. After much discussion, only the two major combatants were ejected from the game.
Today the league office notified the ballclubs that Tapta will have to sit out 3 while Shoemaker would be given a 6-game suspension for their roles in the brawl.
This season, Tapta is batting .324 with no home runs. He has scored 23 runs and driven in 14.
This season, Shoemaker has fanned 49 in 41 innings and collected a 2-1 record with a 4.61 ERA.
