I'd like to know what this moron actually did too by the way, not just the same rumors. [img style="max-width:100%;" alt="  " class="smile" src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/MGJDDHsrMXMaKUaTXDWm.gif"] |

I can't remember MLB ever being so secretive about one of these incidents.

And for him to agree not to appeal it. Obviously he and his agent, the league and the team are all aligned that it would be best for everyone to not know specifically what he did. |

I guess it was part of the deal... you agree to not fight this suspension and we won't reveal what exactly happened that we're suspending you for... SMH

Either that, or this is the case chosen to send a message. The lack of detail protects the victim/family, who may just want to move on, especially if there were circumstances that may have distorted the message the league wished to send. |

The lack of detail protects the victim/family, who may just want to move on, especially if there were circumstances that may have distorted the message the league wished to send. His agent and the union wouldn’t just let the league send a message unless it was clear the behavior was particularly bad. The league and the agents have no agenda except protecting the players. I can’t recall another case where everyone involved from player, agent, union, team to league all lined up to agree on discipline and kept the circumstances so quiet. |

Player agents have no special authority or leverage in these types of cases. If “the behavior was particularly bad” then more details would be known, as police reports are public record. I believe it’s more likely that circumstances (e.g., alcoholism) created a confluence of aligned aims among the league, the player, and family. |

Well, agents counsel and advocate for the interests of their client, who in this case apparently agreed to accept this decision without either an appeal or a public statement questioning the discipline. Certainly plausible that he has bigger problems than the big problems of being involved in assaulting someone. |
