Via the Daily News -
Major League Baseball handed [Jorge Posada] a three-game suspension and fined him $3,000 for igniting a bench-clearing brawl with the Blue Jays.
Toronto reliever Jesse Carlson and Yankees reserve Shelley Duncan also received three-game bans while Toronto catcher Rod Barajas was fined $1,000. Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long and reliever Edwar Ramirez were fined undisclosed sums.
Both Posada and Carlson were originally suspended for four games apiece but basically plea-bargained their penalties to three games after agreeing not to appeal their punishment. Duncan is appealing and was available to play Wednesday night.
Shelley Duncan and Edwar Ramirez…They get the job done.
