I think the fans are going to make much more of this than the players. More details from the Associated Press:

FORT MYERS, Fla. The Red Sox are ready for the opening bell.
        One week before their first regular-season game, excitable reliever Julian Tavarez punched Tampa Bay outfielder Joey Gathright lightly in the jaw Monday during a play at home plate Monday, the latest flareup between the teams.
        Players ran from benches and bullpens but no injuries were reported as they clutched opponents and tried to keep their teammates from going after the other side....
        In Bostons 12-11 win, which ended when Hee-Seop Choi walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Gathright raced home while Julio Lugo was caught in a rundown between first and second in the eighth. Second baseman Zach Borowiak threw to Tavarez, who tagged Gathright out as the outfielder slid.
        Gathright said Tavarez stood on his right forearm after the tag. Tavarez agreed but said he wanted to beat Gathright to the punch.
        I saw him try to get up and I wasnt going to let him throw a punch at me right away, said Tavarez, who threw a second punch on the top of Gathrights head. You hear about whoever throws the first punch gets the win. Thats what happened.
        In the Devil Rays clubhouse, Gathright rolled up his right sleeve to show a small scratch on his right forearm. He said he had pushed Tavarezs left knee to try to free his arm. But Tavarez drew his fist back with Gathrights right knee and hand still on the ground.
        It just kind of grazed the jaw, Gathright said.
        Both players were calm after the game.
        Gathright said well forget about it tomorrow. Tavarez said, I dont know if I hit him good or not. I just wish that wouldve never happened.
        Tampa Bay designated hitter Jonny Gomes said he hopes no bad blood remains between the teams when they play April 18 in Boston.
        I hope not, he said. but were grown men out here and you never know whos holding a grudge.
        In the bottom of the eighth, Choi was hit by a pitch by Wayne Franklin, but Red Sox manager Terry Francona said it didnt appear to be intentional. Still, both benches were warned.
        The Red Sox and Devil Rays have been involved in several brawls. Tavarez is in his first season with Boston....
        On Monday he punched Gathright, a move he said he regretted.
        Im not a fighting guy, Tavarez said, I get along with my teammates and everybody, but when youre on the field, you know, things happen.
        Gathright said he couldnt do much with Tavarez standing on his arm.
        I was like, Get off my arm, and he wouldnt move, Gathright said. Its spring training and hes known for something, so nobody really cares. I could care less. Ill get over this. Hopefully, everybody else does.
