Unfortunately, I haven't found the whole clip yet. Eaton 100% was talking trash first, Ventura responded. Really stupid words ended up in a fist fight. Nothing between Eaton and Ventura merited a fight.
Talking trash? I wouldn't say he was talking trash. He probably said something quick the way Ventura reacted when he caught the ball but when someone brings an FU out that is going to cause some shit. I am fairly certain whatever Eaton said, it didn't warrant that response and wasn't nearly as bad. There is a reason the Royals have been involved in 3 of these things already, it's not good for baseball and isn't good for their image. Other teams and players aren't going to take this stuff from a 2nd year (23 year old) pitcher.
That play happened pretty quickly, it was just a few seconds from Eaton hitting the ball and Ventura saying FU. I can't imagine there was much said from Eaton. And after the interviews nobody said what he said or if he for sure said something so who knows. We probably will never really know
