Jeff Passan reported earlier that Major League Baseball has made the decision to suspended New York Yankees pitcher, Jimmy Cordero, for the remainder of the 2023 season for violating the league's joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy. Cordero is placed on MLB's restricted list effective immediately. He will participate in a league-mandated evaluation and treatment policy. He'll miss the remaining 76 games of the regular season and the postseason.
I mean what the fuck.
Yankees pitchers and domestic violence has unfortunately become a trend over the last several years. This is a sensitive subject and glad it is being properly enforced, but this can't keep happening.
Domingo Germán was given an 81-game suspension under the domestic violence policy that he served in 2019 and 2020. Germán last week pitched MLB's 24th perfect game.
Cordero hasn't addressed the suspension publicly. The Yankees released a statement in support of the suspension, declaring that "there is no justification for domestic violence."
“The Yankees are fully supportive of Major League Baseball’s investigative process and the disciplinary action applied to Jimmy Cordero,” the statement reads. “There is no justification for domestic violence, and we stand with the objectives, standards and enforcement of MLB’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.”
You hate to see this kind of news, especially for a player that has been performing well and had overcome injuries and consistency only to derail his career with stupidity.
