March 1, 201610 yr Alleged domestic violence incident that occurred last October. As noted previously, no criminal charges were filed. This falls under MLB's new domestic violence policy. He wont appeal because he doesn't want to be a "distraction" to the Yankees organization. My guess is they told him you agree to not appeal we'll make it 30 games. You decide to appeal and it's a helluva lot more.
March 1, 201610 yr Alleged gets you suspended now, wow, how did that go through collective bargaining?
March 2, 201610 yr Alleged gets you suspended now, wow, how did that go through collective bargaining? Admitting to firing a firearm as he did in a domestic dispute is what got him suspended.
March 2, 201610 yr Admitting to firing a firearm as he did in a domestic dispute is what got him suspended. 8 shots.
March 2, 201610 yr Admitting to firing a firearm as he did in a domestic dispute is what got him suspended. Did the police say it was a domestic dispute? or is MLB saying it was one.
March 2, 201610 yr Did the police say it was a domestic dispute? or is MLB saying it was one. The police were called to his residence for a domestic dispute. Why are you trying to justify his actions?
March 2, 201610 yr Did the police say it was a domestic dispute? or is MLB saying it was one. The woman who was choked and pushed says it was a domestic dispute. Let's not pretend that just because he wasn't charged, that he's an angel. Yeah, you can dispute the physical violence but you can't dispute 8 bullet holes in your wall.
March 2, 201610 yr I heard today that Aroldis accepted after some negotiating with the league. One key is that the number is low enough to allow him to qualify for free agency.
March 2, 201610 yr The police were called to his residence for a domestic dispute. Why are you trying to justify his actions? Im not justifying his actions, Im trying to see justification in the penalty.
March 2, 201610 yr Im not justifying his actions, Im trying to see justification in the penalty. He fired a weapon eight times inside a garage in a suburban community. How do you not understand the justification for a penalty?
March 2, 201610 yr I heard today that Aroldis accepted after some negotiating with the league. One key is that the number is low enough to allow him to qualify for free agency. I believe it needed to be somewhere around 50 for him not to qualify. 100% worth it for him to avoid a lengthy appeal if it would have been more.
March 2, 201610 yr He fired a weapon eight times inside a garage in a suburban community. How do you not understand the justification for a penalty? That alone means nothing. While it's a bit crazy, it's legal.
March 2, 201610 yr That alone means nothing. While it's a bit crazy, it's legal. Discharging a firearm in a residential area is legal? Since when?
