After reports surfaced early last September that German allegedly slapped his girlfriend a suspension for him was always inevitable. We just didn’t know for how long. There’s no place in the world for domestic violence so German was definitely deserving of this harsh punishment. Now the Yankees will be without a key rotation piece for a little more than the first two months of the regular season.
The 27-year-old will be allowed to participate in Spring Training with the Yanks, but once March 26th rolls around he’ll be separated from the big league club until the suspension is finished.
