MICHAEL BARRETT FIGHTS HIS WAY OUT OF CHICAGO

After two dugout fights this season with pitchers, Cubs catcher Michael Barrett has been shipped to San Diego for a couple of no namers. Barrett who has been a fighter his whole life, apparently was not welcomed in the clubhouse anymore. I guess you can fight other teams as much as you want, but when it comes to your own teammates, no matter the situation, you can't touch them. The Cubs did the right thing here, by sending Barrett packing. You can't have a clubhouse situation like this if you are expecting to compete for a ring. Lord knows there will always be teammates who do not like each other, that is human nature, but you have to put those differences aside if you want to win. Barrett obviously could not do that, and for that he earned a one way ticket out of town.
