Yankees pitcher suspended half a season for domestic violence

I realize this probably doesn't belong on a Red Sox board, but I'd hate to see our resident Yankees fan miss anything negative about his team just as he's sure we don't miss anything negative about a Sox player.

This isn’t surprising. Good to see him punished. This will likely render him a minor leaguer into July. The suspension will carry into June. He’ll be allowed to play in the minors 15 days before his suspension ends. He will need a month to get up to speed

81 games is a severe penalty.

 

By comparison:

 

Aroldis Chapman 30 games

Steven Wright 15 games

But then Russell got 40 and Odubel Herrera got “indefinite” which later came to mean 85 games...

What was Brett Myer’s suspension?

[OH FOY]

Is Jordan Montgomery suppose to come back this year?

Zero.

He finished the year healthy last year, so yes he should have a normal off season and will compete for the 5 spot. With German out likely into the summer, I expect JMont to win the job out of ST

German's suspension is the longest for a player not criminally investigated for violence. It's interesting that he's decided not to appeal the suspension, and to accept rehab demands and suggestions, including making donations to a domestic violence group. This has suggested to many that he's ok with and accepts the long suspension.

not surprising at all.

Yankees players (just like their fans) are disgusting human beings.

He doesn't have much of a choice. MLB is punishing this far harsher than in the past. And they should, these are prime athletes who could kill someone with a punch. They shouldn't be hitting women
