After his latest on-field incident, the Kansas City Royals appear to be eager to dump pitcher Yardano Ventura.

Benches cleared in the Royals-Orioles game after Ventura hit third baseman Manny Machado with a pitch.

Though Machado threw the first punch, the focus was on Ventura afterwards.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reported that the Royals have offered Ventura up for trade twice "within the past month" to undisclosed teams.

Manager Ned Yost even acknowledged some of Ventura's teammates being irritated by his actions.

"There's a little frustration when things like this happen, yeah," Yost said, per Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star.

This of course isn't the first incident Ventura has been a part of. Last season he was involved in two similar incidents, when he was fined for intentional hitting Brett Lawrie in April and was suspended for seven games after an argument with Adam Eaton led to another bench-clearing brawl.
