CBS2’s Otis Livingston reported Jose Reyes was given a second chance by the team that gave him his first big league chance, but it’s not entirely a feel-good moment due to the alleged domestic violence incident with his wife in October.
Reyes was released by the Colorado Rockies after serving a 59-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.
