[Jaysareus]

Was last year when Osuna missed games due to anxiety issues

Being anxious does not explain or excuse his alleged assault.

Is was due to him knocking up a 2nd woman I thought

If that isn't anxiety, not sure what is.

As I said before...sports love a rehab story. Osuna needs to say the right things and do the right things now.

 

 

not for beating the tar out of a woman it doesn't

Talent will almost always trump behaviour. Even if it's something horrible. If your talent level is that high, you'll get another shot.

Yeah it'd have to be seriously bad - like going to prison for multiple years - for his MLB career to over completely. IF it's as bad as the rumours then his Jays career is over, but someone else would still give him a shot.

 

There is still a chance than it's nowhere near as bad as the rumours and we may see him again.

If it is as bad as the rumours, wouldn't multiple years of jail be on the table? I'd expect someone to be jailed for a significant amount of time if they punched their spouse a few times then threw her down a flight of stairs, but I have no idea what the precedent is.

I'm no lawyer but I doubt he'd get over a year if his defence was it was an argument that got out of hand - plus he was only charged with assault not assault causing bodily harm.

 

But we're getting way ahead of ourselves here!

It would depend entirely on history, the severity of the assault, the safety of the victim/ witnesses and the likelyhood of him reoffending.

 

Without any knowledge of the case (assuming the above factors are satisfied)I’d say he’s looking at release on an recognizance with conditions to not contact her, attend court, etc. He’s already likely out, but tbh I haven’t read any of the facts of the case in the news.

Link to the rumours? I haven't read them.

Since when is Dean Blumpkin an MLB insider. Isn't he the ******* who got fired from Edge 102?

Yes, and SN590.

I've been avoiding reading this thread

 

Wish I hadn't just looked

[leaffie]

Me Too!! and that is not about the women's movement, but about reading that article. He obviously has some axe to grind.

 

I don't care if Osuna is the best closer that ever walked the earth, if he did this, then he will get his punishment and it will be well deserved. But if this was a case of alcohol and mistakes on both parts, then articles like this are undeserved and sanctimonious.

 

For many years, I have seen the damage that can be done by men that are out of control to women, but have always believed that both names should be kept out of it, until charges have been laid and all court proceedings are finished. Then if the man is guilty, then he can bear the consequences.

[Mohammed]

No idea what to believe but you can tell Dean's a guy that's not likely going to hold back whereas any MLB/Sportsnet reporter is likely to have reservations about releasing information, especially if it's not confirmed.

[wilko]

Did Miggy every run into any domestic issues? I know he wasn't shy of getting s*** faced.

Once again Dean Blundell isn't a source of anything. Hes a piece of s*** human being and he will do anything to get clicks on his s***** website.

I was just reiterating the point. Hes a f***ing clown. I wasn't coming at you lol.

Doubt he'd even get 6 months since he's a first time offender with no prior record (to my knowledge). The work visa would probably be the biggest roadblock to coming back if they decided to take it away.

 

Looks like he isn't going to play this year but next year I can see him back.

I know somebody who was convicted for domestic assault 2 years ago with eye witnesses. He got 30 days in Jail, a year probation, and had to go through an anger management course. Unless Osuna did severe life changing damages he won't spend much time in prison. Probably an excellent chance it never even gets that far with a good lawyer.

Yeah and that's assuming it ever got that far in the process. He'd probably cut a deal with the prosecution for Community service and probation etc..

[FIAF]

Even if he is guilty he will still get a 2nd chance surely if guys like John Lennon and Mayweather admit to domestic violence why would Osuna not get one?

Admin leave extended to May 21st by MLB.

 

Doubt that is good!

MLB aren’t going to pre-empt the court so likely it’ll be extended until the hearing in June unless charges are dropped before then.

Yeah likely.

 

One of the Oakland A's players can't enter Canada either right now because of a legal issue and will miss their series here. He pulled a gun on a food delivery worker and gets sentenced June 4th.
