SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (CBSNewYork/AP) — In his first public comments since a domestic violence complaint was filed against New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia, general manager Sandy Alderson said the team already was likely to seek bullpen help before the legal problem surfaced last week.
A complaint in municipal court in Fort Lee, New Jersey, dated Oct. 31 alleged the All-Star pitcher caused “bodily injury to another.” A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14.
“Obviously, we were extremely disappointed and frankly shocked at the allegations,” Alderson said Monday at the major league general managers meeting.
