Fan ejected after Pirates RHP Dennis Santana takes a swing at him in bullpen
Dennis Santana can likely plan to hear from MLB after Thursday's incident in the bullpen (Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images) The most consequential swing of Thursday's doubleheader between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers might have come in the bullpen. Pirates reliever Dennis Santana was caught on camera jumping to take a swing at a fan, wearing a Pirates jersey and a Tigers hat, who was taunting him from above the visitors bullpen at Comerica Park. It's unclear what was said to prompt the reaction, but Santana pointed to a specific fan before walking up to him. Advertisement A security guard quickly pushed him back from the wall afterward. Per The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen, the fan was later ejected from the stadium. Santana remained in the game and was the pitcher on the mound when the second game of the doubleheader went into an hour-plus rain delay in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the game tied 4-4. When the game resumed, David Bednar took over for Santana and the Pirates went on to win 8-4, splitting the doubleheader. The fan might have been ejected, but Santana could be facing significant discipline. Like all other major sports leagues, MLB takes a dim view of players getting physical with fans. Advertisement The most recent example might be Anthony Rendon, who was suspended five games — reduced to four on appeal — and fined an undisclosed amount after grabbing the jersey of a fan and throwing a missed punch at him. The incident comes during what is shaping up to be a career year for the 29-year-old Santana. The journeyman holds a 1.85 ERA after Thursday and has become one of the Pirates' few bright spots this season. With his own personal success and the Pirates' struggles, Santana is a name to know for the 2025 MLB trade deadline. We'll see if Thursday's incident has any impact on his market.

Who is highest-paid third baseman in MLB in 2025? Top 10. Show Caption Hide Caption ARod thinks international games for the MLB could be a huge success Alex Rodriguez is showing his support in the MLB international and Japan games. Sports Seriously Coming off a World Series title with the Washington Nationals in 2019, All-Star third baseman Anthony Rendon tested free agency and signed a monster contract with the Los Angeles Angels that December. However, the seven-year, $245 million deal hasn't panned out like it was supposed to for the Angels. The two-time Silver Slugger hasn't played more than 58 games in any of his four years with the Angels because of injuries. All told, Rendon has played in only 257 games -- with 12 stints on the injured list since 2021. And heading into the 2025 season, Rendon's $38.6 million salary is not only the highest among third basemen. Who are the highest-paid MLB third basemen in 2025? (In present-day value calculated by MLB) 1 − Anthony Rendon, Angels − $38,571,429 2 − Nolan Arenado, Cardinals − $29,533,909 3 − Alex Bregman, Red Sox − $25,930,874 4 − Matt Chapman, Giants − $25,166,667 5 − Austin Riley, Braves − $22,000,000 6 − Jose Ramirez, Guardians − $19,000,000 7 − Manny Machado, Padres − $17,090,909 8 − Jeimer Candelario, Reds − $16,000,000 T-9 − Eugenio Suarez, Diamondbacks − $15,000,000 T-9 − DJ LeMahieu, Yankees − $15,000,000 2025 MLB SALARIES: Database of every player who made the Opening Day roster The figures, compiled by USA TODAY, are calculated by the MLB Labor Relations Department of the present-day value of contracts including deferrals and signing bonuses.

How Anthony Rendon turned a superstar deal into MLB's worst contract
How Anthony Rendon turned a superstar deal into MLB's worst contract (Image Source: X) Anthony Rendon got a pretty big contract from the Los Angeles Angels in 2019. It was a seven-year deal and was worth $245 million. So far, he has made $168 million off that contract. But that contract has one major problem: in four years, he has played in fewer than 250 games. That's not even two full seasons' worth of baseball. There's this stupid notion going around that this may just be the worst contract in baseball history. Anthony Rendon's deal with Angels might go down as baseball's worst contract ever When the Angels signed Anthony Rendon, he was a superstar. He'd just helped the Washington Nationals win the World Series and was one of the league's best hitters. The Angels thought he would be a big part of the team and help them make the playoffs. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 10-Month-old is battling for his life and only you can save him! Give Hope India Donate Now Undo But since becoming a part of the Angels organization, Anthony Rendon has missed a lot of games due to injury. He has had problems with his leg, wrist, groin, and the rest of his body. Every year he has been out more than in at-bats. Even when he's been in, he's not been hitting the ball like he used to. He's been batting just way below his numbers and hasn't had enough juice. Anthony Rendon is getting a ton of money, but he's not giving the team very much in return. Right now he's making about $672,000/game he has played for this team. That's a bunch of money for very little playing time on the field. Why this could be worst contract in baseball There have been other bad contracts in baseball before. Some players got big contracts and didn't do well and didn't get hurt. Chris Davis didn't hit well after he got a big deal with the Orioles and Jacoby Ellsbury missed many games with the Yankees. But Anthony Rendon's contract could be worse than that. How it gets picked out I think is because of how much Anthony Rendon hasn't played. In 4 years he has not even played 2/3 of the games that he should have, and the Angels are still paying him for more years. That is hurting the team because they can't use those funds to sign other good players. The Angels have not made the postseason and paid Anthony Rendon this kind of money. There are angry Angels fans out there that even the team is at fault for making that decision. He was supposed to be a superstar and ended up being a giant bust through most of his time with the Angels.
