edjr 5,561 Posted January 3, 2020 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb-suspends-yankees-pitcher-domingo-german-81-games-under-domestic-violence-policy-194111883.html Quote New York Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán will miss the first 63 games of the 2020 season as part of an 81-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. The ban is retroactive to Sept. 19 when he was placed on administrative leave for an incident that occurred earlier that week. The 27-year-old Germán allegedly slapped his girlfriend, mother of at least one of his children, following CC Sabathia's charity gala on Sept. 16. There were conflicting reports at the time regarding where the incident took place and who witnessed it — specifically whether it was a member of the commissioner’s office who saw the altercation take place. “We remain steadfast in our support of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action taken regarding Domingo Germán,” the Yankees said in a statement Thursday. “Domestic violence — in any form — is a gravely serious matter that affects every segment of our society. Major League Baseball has taken the lead in our industry to make domestic violence awareness and prevention a priority, and we will continue to back those efforts. We are encouraged by Domingo’s acceptance of his discipline, and we sincerely hope this indicates a commitment to making a meaningful and positive change in his personal conduct.” There were no criminal charges brought against Germán, and the 81-game suspension is the longest MLB has levied under this policy in the absence of formal charges in the legal system, eclipsing Addison Russell's 40-game suspension in 2018. (Several players have had charges dropped.) San Francisco Giants executive Larry Baer was also suspended for nearly four months this past season for a public altercation with his wife that did not result in any charges, though it’s worth noting that as an executive, Baer is not subject to the collective bargaining protections or the might of a union. Despite the lack of a police report, the Major League Baseball Players Association did not contest the administrative leave. It is not expected to appeal the suspension, either. Between the incident and MLB’s decision to place him on leave, Germán pitched 2 1/3 innings in relief on Sept. 18 as part of the Yankees’ postseason push, capping off a career-high 143 innings in 2019. The next day, he was placed on leave and the team clinched the division. New York, a hotbed for athletes to beat their women. Will it ever stop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
