MLB officials are frustrated at how slowly it is taking to investigate the October domestic violence charge against Mets closer Jeurys Familia, Bob Klapisch of the Bergen Record reported Jan. 31.
"By the time pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 13, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's office will most likely still be conducting its investigation," MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone wrote Jan. 11.
The next day, Mets GM Sandy Alderson told reporters that he did not know when MLB would make a ruling, though he assumes Familia will miss at least some period of time during 2017.
