THE SUSPENSIONS

Jeurys Familia is likely facing a major suspension under baseball’s domestic violence policy. Three players have been banned under the policy, which was enacted in August 2015.

82 Braves outfielder Hector Olivera is arrested after a domestic dispute on April 13 then suspended in May for 82 games for his conduct. The Braves trade Olivera to the Padres in exchange for Matt Kemp and cash. After he completes his suspension, he is released by Padres.

52 Jose Reyes is arrested on Oct. 31, 2015 in Hawaii after an argument between Reyes and his wife, Katherine Ramirez, at the Maui Four Seasons resort “turned physical and resulted in injuries” to her. Reyes, a member of the Rockies, is charged with domestic abuse. The case is dismissed after Ramirez refuses to cooperate. Reyes receives a 52-game suspension from MLB and the Rockies part ways with the Dominican switch-hitter once his suspension is served. The Mets sign Reyes to a minorleague deal on June 25, and he plays his first game in Flushing on July 4. Reyes plays 60 games with the Mets, batting .267 with eight homers, 24 RBI and nine steals.

30 Aroldis Chapman is involved in a domestic incident in Florida on Oct. 30, 2015, in which he allegedly chokes his girlfriend and fires off eight gunshots. Chapman is about to be traded to the Dodgers but when the news breaks weeks later, the deal is off. The Yankees, however, deal for the flamethrowing reliever three weeks later. Although no charges are filed, Chapman is banned 30 games. The Bombers trade Chapman to the Cubs in July and he becomes integral part of Chicago’s World Series run.

THE POLICY

Here are the highlights from baseball’s domestic violence policy:

The commissioner’s office will investigate allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse levied against all players.

A player accused of domestic violence, sexual assault or child abuse can be placed on paid “administrative leave” for up to seven days before a decision is rendered.

MLB discipline is not dependent on a criminal conviction. However, the commissioner reserves the right to defer a decision on discipline until criminal cases are resolved. There are no maximum or minimum penalties. Disciplinary rulings can be appealed, and appeals will be heard by an independent arbitrator.
