Major League Baseball terminated the contract of Hall of Fame second baseman Roberto Alomar on Friday following a sexual misconduct investigation.
MLB's investigation relates to an alleged incident of sexual misconduct in 2014. Alomar worked as a consultant for MLB and served as an ambassador for the Blue Jays prior to Friday's termination.
“At my office’s request, an independent investigation was conducted by an external legal firm to review an allegation of sexual misconduct reported by a baseball industry employee earlier this year involving Mr. Alomar in 2014," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.
