Outfielder Tears ACL in Tussle With Manager

Posted Sep 25, 07 3:26 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Volatile outfielder Milton Bradley provided a second-half spark to surging San Diego but now is out for the season because of a tussle with his manager and a torn ACL. He suffered the injury as manager Bud Black wrestled him to the ground to prevent an altercation with an umpire, reports ESPN. The team claims the umpire directed a series of profanities at Bradley.

The blow is serious to the Padres, now just half a game ahead in the wild-card race. Bradley led the team in batting average at .313 since arriving from Oakland in July. "If this costs me my season, [the umpire] needs to be reprimanded. I'm taking some action," said Bradley.

Hank Steinbrenner confirmed today that team officials are at least talking about acquiring baseball's home-run king, though he wouldn't say just how serious those talks are. Given how late it is in the season, the prospects are unlikely, the AP reports. The slugger, who turned 44 today, became a free agent when the San Francisco Giants did not bring him back this season.
