Osuna traded to Houston

I'm not sure who should be policing it, but when you publicly state your organization has a "zero-tolerance" policy towards such actions, and have immediately released another player under similar circumstances, this trade makes him a complete hypocrite, IMO.

Hmmm...I'm going to politely disagree here. The Astros released that player (assuming we're talking about Danry Vasquez here) after MLB gave him an indefinite suspension, so they acted after MLB essentially gave the player a potentially lifetime ban.

I guess I don't read "zero-tolerance" as you will never, ever, ever play baseball if you do this again. I read it as if you do this, we will see that you are punished by the appropriate authorities. And they retain the right to extend greater punishment if they feel the damage to the club is greater than the penalty leveled by MLB.

I havent followed Osuna at all but... Was he convicted? If so, why isnt he in prison?

charges laid, it's going through the courts - next date is Aug 1 (tomorrow), word is he plans to plead not guilty.

also, conviction doesn't necessarily mean prison time.

right, but for domestic abuse I thought if found guilty he'd at least serve some sort of sentence. But I dont follow this sort of stuff that closely...
