After receiving an 81-game suspension from MLB As a disciplinary measure for allegations of domestic violence, the pitcher of the Yankees, Domingo German, he is planning to address his colleagues before appearing before the press.
“It is important for me to have the opportunity to speak directly with my teammates, both individually and collectively, and to speak to them face to face before speaking to the media and our fans,” German said in a release.

“This process has started, but it takes more time,” he added. “Especially since half of our team has yet to show up for spring training.
“I recognize that speaking in public will be an important step for me. And I will do it in the next few days ”.
Reliever Zack Britton showed his discomfort with the presence of Germán in training when asked about it, although he resigned himself saying that sometimes players cannot control who their teammates are. “I don’t agree with what he did. I don’t think I have any place in the game or off the field. “
In September 2019, Domingo Germán hit his partner before a charity gala hosted by pitcher CC Sabathia. Later, under the influence of alcohol, he again raped his partner until one of his Yankees teammates accompanied by his wife came to calm the situation.
MLB suspended Germán for 81 games after completing the investigation. He served the first 18 games of his disciplinary measure at the end of the 2019 season and then missed the 60 games of the 2020 season as well as the first three of the playoffs played by the Yankees.
