MLB investigating former SF closer
Free agent pitcher Sam Dyson has been accused of domestic violence and is being investigated by Major League Baseball.
The commissioner’s office says in a statement it is “aware of it and looking into it.” Dyson’s agency, ISE, did not immediately respond to a text seeking comment.
The Athletic reported Tuesday the allegation was made by an ex-girlfriend, Alexis Blackman, in posts on her personal Instagram account and on an account she writes in the voice of her cat, Snuckles.
The Athletic says posts on the accounts alluding to an unidentified individual were about Dyson, citing a source who was not identified.
Dyson was acquired by Minnesota from San Francisco at the July 31 trade deadline and became a free agent after the season.

CALGARY COACH IN LIMBO AFTER ALLEGEDLY USING RACIAL SLURS » Bill Peters’
status as the Calgary Flames coach — and whatever future he might have in the sport — have been placed into question while the NHL and the team investigate allegations he directed racist slurs at a Nigerian-born player in the minors 10 years ago.
General manager Brad Treliving said that Peters remains with the Flames after the allegations raised by Akim Aliu on social media Monday. Aliu alleged Peters “dropped the N bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn’t like my choice of music.” It happened during the 2009-10 season while the two were with the Chicago Blackhawks minor-league affiliate in Rockford, Illinois.
Treliving offered no timeline and said he didn’t know if Peters would be behind the bench against the Sabres on Wednesday.

NCAA REJECTS MISSOURI APPEAL » The NCAA has rejected an appeal by the University of Missouri to limit or overturn sanctions for infractions tied to the case of a former tutor.
The football, baseball and softball teams were banned from the postseason for a year, the entire athletic department was placed on probation and Missouri was docked scholarships and given recruiting restrictions.
The case dates to 2016 when tutor Yolanda Kumar acknowledged she had violated NCAA rules by doing course work and ensuring athletes in football, baseball and softball passed certain courses.
