This is exactly
what I was just talking about the other day: after hitting Braves’ leadoff man
Ronald Acuna Jr. at the start of Wednesday’s game, Marlins’ pitcher Jose Urena
was suspended six games and fined (how much exactly we’re not allowed to know). But his employers got off scot-free. How come?
Is Commissioner
Rob Manfred afraid of going after a franchise that has ex-Yankee great Derek
Jeter as its public face? Or is the
commissioner simply afraid that owners will turn on him should he hold them
accountable for the on-field actions of their employees? If you want bad behavior to stop, then you
have to pursue it up the corporate ladder.
Eventually, the
powers that be will get the message.
