The background here if people don't know is that there was some kind of domestic violence incident late last season with German and his girlfriend, and he ended up being suspended for the rest of 2019 and 63 games in 2020. Well, now 2020 only has 60 games so he is suspended for the entire regular season plus three postseason games (the suspension would not carry over to 2021 no matter what). Then today he made a couple of posts, documented here.
That sounds right. I don't know what he has in the bank, but missing a full year of salary on top of what he lost last year could be hard to deal with.
The Age of Social Media and young men and women sharing crazy shit catches people off guard everyday. Deleting it when you have some semblance of "fame" doesn't help.
Boone seemed as surprised as anyone with the news and did the standard deflection. NY is projected to win the AL East without him. Meh.
