Alexis Blackburn, an ex-girlfriend of former SF Giants reliever Sam Dyson, detailed Dyson’s pattern of physical and emotional abuse during their relationship.
On Tuesday, an investigative report by Katie Strong and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic revealed a preponderance of evidence that former SF Giants relief pitcher Sam Dyson was both physically and emotionally abusive to his ex-girlfriend Alexis Blackburn. Allegations were first made public last winter when Blackburn shared that she had moved out of the couple’s home following a violent outburst on an Instagram account for her cat.
