I don't see how this relatively minor infraction would jeopardize his future with the Jays.


Less likely because he's a professional baseball player and thus can afford good lawyerin', but it's a good way to end up as a registered sex offender. And given that Florida, in particular, has notoriously strict laws for sex offenders, that's a good way to make it really difficult for him to play baseball.


Well obviously it's wasn't the time or the place, but I don't think choking the chicken to porn in his own vehicle makes him a sex offender. We'll have to see what further details emerge, but so far I'd say he's mostly guilty of exercising extraordinarily poor judgement/restraint. Hopefully for his sake this is a one time thing and not part of a pattern of public debauchery.

A conversation in the Houston dugout some time in 2020.

"What sign is he showing now?"
"He's grabbing his dick"
"Does that mean fastball?"

Pissing outdoors can make you a sex offender. The definition of such can, in a lot of places, be a bit overbroad.

Mcguire could probably use some load management.

TMZ Sports has obtained the police report from McGuire's arrest ... and cops say a witness told them the Blue Jays catcher had been masturbating in his parked car before they arrived on the scene.
According to the report ... cops say after they rolled up to the parking lot, they saw McGuire with his shirt "barely covering his genitals" and his sweatpants around his ankles.
They claim in the report when they got McGuire out of his car, he "had an erection which was very apparent."
Cops say McGuire apologized to them profusely for the incident ... saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this is really embarrassing." Cops say McGuire added, "I really shouldn't have been doing that."

Those seem like pretty reasonable projections, too. Though I think the numbers are somewhat harsh on Jansen and Gurriel in particular. I think both of those guys, health permitting, should be over 2 fwar.

I think we've all masturbated in a public parking lot before. He just got caught.

Whats going on with McGuire? Legally, he could be considered a sex offender for that in some states. If this is true, do they release him? Congrats to TMZ for potentially ruining his career when he didn't harm anybody.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

This is different from the the time you did it because Reese was actually inside a car.
