TMZ’s ‘bar brawl’ video featuring Yasiel Puig revealed to not even be of him

Yasiel Puig‘s supposed “bar brawl” was big news back when it was reported by TMZ, and then earlier today the outlet released supposed video of the alleged brawl. The problem? Well, the problem is that it’s not Puig on that video, and so TMZ retracted their video.

The MLB investigation is still ongoing and we don’t have video of what Puig actually did, but given that the investigation was sparked by the TMZ report in the first place and that the local police already exonerated him, it’s safe to say this is nothing more than a minor annoyance.

Now back to worrying about baseball and the off-season.
