Yesterday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred spoke for the first time since news of Jose Reyes' arrest surfaced. As part of that process, MLB released this statement:
"As evidenced by our Joint Domestic Violence Policy, Major League Baseball understands the seriousness of the issues surrounding domestic violence, and our Policy explicitly recognizes the harm resulting from such acts. Consistent with the terms of this Policy, the Commissioner's Office already has begun its investigation into the facts and circumstances. Any action taken by the Commissioner's Office in this matter will be wholly in accordance with this Policy.
