If you say that MLB "completely exonerated him", you're lying. MLB is not a court of law. As an employer, they can only conclude that whatever evidence exists does not clear the bar for further suspension.

Expand Mike Clevinger was not proved innocent and you are choosing your words very carefully so as to lie. He was not suspended. We do not know what went into this determination. We do know that interviewing witnesses half a year after an incident is a terrible investigative practice and we know that happened in that case. Why the investigation was not handled promptly when the report came in and was seemingly only done when the victim went public should seem like a major question to anyone who has an issue with domestic abuse. As an outside observer, I feel that should absolutely color any views of what his lack of suspension means. we also know that Clevinger continued contacting the victim while a member of the white Sox and somehow dragged teammates into this, including Oscar colas, which is super f***ed up and should really have told everyone to stay away.

What I can tell you is that no other team wanted him at any price, he managed to drag the organization and even his fellow players into his personal matters all before Getz signed him, all of which should be sickening. The fact that Colas was somehow roped into this as a rookie should be completely disqualifying even if Clevinger was falsely accused. Furthermore, in terms of the actual allegation, there was at least one other woman we found out about last year who had issues with Clevinger as is commonly the case with domestic abusers - they don’t do it only once. Furthermore, in terms of him not being suspended, an investigation conducted 6 months or more after the event is challenging and basically set up to fail, as memory doesn’t work that way. Finally, it takes a ton of bravery for a woman to come forwards and publicly make an abuse accusation against a rich public figure, because the deck will be stacked against them and people will claim that their accuser is “exonerated” even if it’s a he-said she said case and she’s fully telling the truth but it can’t be fully proven. Thus, I see zero reason to believe that a lack of charges is an actual exoneration, and I find the accuser much more credible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
