Most of Friday’s pregame press conference with the Washington Nationals’ manager dealt with the domestic violence allegations which led to Major League Baseball placing Starlin Castro on administrative leave before the club kicked off the second half against the San Diego Padres in the nation’s capital. After discussing his reaction to the news and how things are being handled, Davey Martinez addressed the issue in general, and all the other recent problems around the game with domestic violence when asked for his thoughts.
“I think, one, is that MLB has definitely put their foot down on this situation and they have and they’re really, really trying to hone in on stopping this for whatever reason,” Martinez said.
