When the New York Yankees lost Domingo German to a domestic violence case before the start of the postseason, most believed it would affect the team’s efficiency exponentially. his loss undoubtedly hurt the overall success the Yankees had in the playoffs, especially after falling to the Houston Astros in the ALCS.
German is now entering the final stages of his case hearing, and reports have indicated that the consequence of his actions won’t be as significant as Astros’ Roberto Osuna. He served a 75-game suspension last year for his actions, and German’s serving of nine games at the end of the season and postseason play will likely play a part in his impending suspension.
