Well, nothing good can come of this, even if it's a setup, which I doubt it is. It's not like there aren't enough prominent examples out there to dissuade young men from hitting women. Maybe this puts Biagini back in the pen and opens up the path for Borucki to start.

They might have to. If he's convicted, he might lose his ability to enter the country.

If guilty, we might have great difficulty trading him, period. And if guilty, well, **** him.

MLB has put him on administrative leave

Nah, if guilty people can change... I prefer having good players on the roster even if it meant them doing something stupid in the past.

1 Chance is all you get though.

I also give people exactly one chance when it comes to assaulting women. It's the chance they get before they assault women.

Trading him now would be the worst better off to invest in getting him help at this point .. But we know how Rogers run like a business ( Pillar overreaction) They'd probably give a harsher punishment over the MLB should he be found guilty.

We also don't know the details of the incident, as of yet.

So I guess at this point, we hope the accuser is not romantically involved with him, which would make it assault rather than domestic violence. Which, for some reason, is treated very differently.

Alleged victim is his girlfriend:

Wonder if Hazel can ask that same source how he insulted her? Toronto reporters are the worst. Espn or Fox will probably break this news before any Jays media

**** man, didn't need to hear this the day after the Raps sweep.

Let's wait and see what happened first. If this a "he said, she said" thing, Osuna's lawyer probably gets him off.
