Report: Jose Reyes Arrested For Domestic Abuse

Nov 10, 2015 6:21 AM

Jose Reyes was reportedly arrested on Oct. 31 in Maui after allegedly grabbing his wife, Katherine, by the throat and shoving her into the sliding glass door of their hotel room at the Four Seasons Resort.

The Colorado Rockies issued a statement late Monday night that they are "extremely disappointed and concerned" to learn of domestic abuse allegations against Reyes.

Reyes was arrested after hotel security called police and was released on bail.

In August, Major League Baseball announced a new domestic violence policy that allows commissioner Rob Manfred to issue discipline for "just cause," the same standard used under the sport's collective bargaining agreement.

Judge Rules In Orioles' Favor In MASN Dispute

Nov 6, 2015 7:17 AM

The New York Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Baltimore Orioles and against the Washington Nationals in a long-running dispute relating to the rights fees owed to the latter team by the jointly-owned MASN.

MASN, which is controlled and majority-owned by the Orioles, brought the lawsuit to challenge an arbitration award that purported to settle the annual television broadcast fees owed by the network to the Nationals.

The Nationals own a minority share in the network and the ruling vacates the arbitration award.

If the decision is upheld on appeal, it would require the parties to renegotiate and/or re-arbitrate the rights fees.
