Jose Reyes arrested for domestic abuse

[soxhop411]

Colorado Rockies shortstop José Reyes was arrested on Halloween for allegedly grabbing his wife by the throat and shoving her into a sliding glass door, according to TV station KHNL in Hawaii. The alleged assault took place at the Four Seasons Hualalai, and Reyes was arrested after security called police, according to the station.

This summer Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association signed an agreement that fully governs the league’s rights and responsibilities when players are accused, but have not yet been convicted, of crimes like domestic violence. The commissioner can place players on administrative leave for a week before assessing discipline, which can then be appealed to an independent arbitrator. Players can also be suspended while charges are pending, though Opening Day isn’t for another five months.

It's okay, he doesn't deserve the J.

How he was able to evade detection for 10 days is interesting especially in light of the Hardy inferno. BTW the hotel he was busted at is an incredibly exclusive, freaking gorgeous hotel. It won't be pushed under the rug but fortunately for him it didn't happen during the season. He is gonna have to answer hard questions for it deservedly so.

This will be really interesting to see how Manfred handles the first one under the new policy since there is no minimum or maximum suspension.
My guess is 81 games so he doesn't undershoot it and piss off the public. He has to make a statement regardless if it is more or less egregious than the Rice or Hardy incidents.
