Will another MLB player be released in 2008 after making disparaging remarks about his opponent?

In a game between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals, Nationals player Elijah Dukes led his team in a series of dugout chants. After the game, Mets pitcher Nelson Figueroa said that the Nationals were a "last-place" team, because they were "cheerleading in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls." He also questioned the Nationals' "professionalism." Dukes commented that the chants were "kind of softballish." The next day, Figueroa was designated for assignment (probably due to his poor performance the previous day. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2008/05/13/2008-05-13_girls_can_cheer_as_figgy_gets_cut.html

To settle as yes, the player must be released, cut or designated for assignment before playing another game.
