Jeurys Familia

Post by Edwards Kings » Fri Feb 03, 2017 11:32 am

"MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the league will make a decision on whether to punish Jeurys Familia for his October 31 domestic violence arrest by Opening Day.
The league has been looking into the Familia incident for months but so far no punishment has been handed down. The charges against Familia were dropped but a suspension is still likely. For a point of reference, Aroldis Chapman was banned for the first 30 games of 2016 following an offseason domestic violence arrest. Addison Reed would fill in at closer if Familia is suspended to start the year."

Well, that certainly narrows it down, Mr. Manfred. Yassur...tanks a bunch...you hump! :P

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Really is kind of ridiculous that it takes so long to decide on a suspension. I'm assuming it'll be 30 like Chapman, but who knows? Clearly, MLB does not care about the fantasy player's need to know! Here's hoping the uncertainty gets resolved before the live drafts (same with Kang's situation).
