From Mark Feinsand:Jorge Posada has been suspended four games and fined $3,000 for his role in Tuesday night's bench-clearing brawl between the Yankees and Blue Jays, a baseball source told the Daily News. Toronto reliever Jesse Carlson received the same punishment. It is unknown whether either player plans to appeal.Well, this was expected. Time for Cervelli and Molina to step up for a few days. Also, he better take the suspension now, and not risk missing the Angels or Red Sox games coming up next week because those are the games they're going to need him.
