White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger ready to focus on baseball
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger is "relieved" and ready to focus on baseball after avoiding discipline under the league's joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.
"I would definitely say it's a weight lifted," Clevinger said Tuesday. "Thankful for the due process playing out."
Clevinger, 32, had been accused of domestic abuse by the mother of one of his children, but Major League Baseball on Sunday said he would not face punishment after it had completed a "comprehensive investigation" that included review of documents and electronic communication.
"I was an open book to them," Clevinger said. "I let them clone my phone a couple times."
