I will ask people to refrain from any legal judgements - about how serious or not serious this is. We really have no way of knowing what happened. The dismissal is a start, however his behavior is being scrutinized for a year. It may simply have been a domestic dispute that got out of hand, but it doesn't take a gun to intimidate either. We don't know, so we shouldn't speculate.

Yeah I was only assuming the punishment handed out by MLB, not the actual circumstance itself. No one knows but the Wright family about that.

Yeah, he's getting 30 games. Seems to be the standard punishment for these kind of rule violations no matter what the circumstances. It could be a lot more games if it was serious, but this matter doesn't seem to be that serious after the retirement. There is no standard.

Technically yes, but 30 games seems to be a common number in these rule violations.

It will be interesting to see how the Sox fans react to Wright. We pretty much know how they reacted to Chapman. The Sano situation should also be interesting from a sports sociology viewpoint.

First question that arises .... Sox will play with a 24 man roster for 15 games while he serves?

Based upon the fact that when I saw him against the Orioles on the back fields ( yesterday I think) he didn't look ready to start a major league game, maybe that is a good thing. Rather than rushing him and finding out he is not ready in a big league game, now he has another 2 weeks plus to get ready. Hopefully, he will be ready once the first 15 games of the regular year have been played.

That would be swell for us, but seems like cheating the system. If I were MLB, he has to serve the suspension after he makes his first MLB appearance. I can find nothing in either the MLB Rules or the CBA about when suspensions are served. So it does seems as if he can be placed on the suspended list opening day, in which case the suspension is almost moot, since after the 5th game of the season, they don't need a 5th starter until game 14 (by which time E-Rod and Pomeranz should also be back). Odd.

Odd. I’m not sure where the specific rule is, but no he has to be active for the suspension to count. DL time doesn’t count.

Odd. I’m not sure where the specific rule is, but no he has to be active for the suspension to count. DL time doesn’t count. I finally tracked down the rules on all of this. The catch is that players who are suspended on the Domestic Abuse etc. Policy go on the Restricted List, not the Suspended List. CBA Attachment 52 Clause III.D.5.a states "A Player suspended during the offseason under this Policy will be placed on the Restricted List immediately upon public announcement." Players on this Restricted List can take a 6-day ml assignment (III.D.5.c) that can be served any time during the suspension. If ST is not the offseason, and for some reason he does need to start the suspension the day after he is first on the active roster, they could sham-activate him opening day and then recall his replacement, since players going on the Restricted List invoke the same exception to the 10-day rule as players going on the DL (MLB Rule 11(b)(1)(a)).

Wright is going to miss at least 25-30 days of the season. He was put on the DL and he'll have to serve his suspension after the DL stint.
