Ozuna was suspended for 20 games under the MLB’s Domestic Violence policy, causing him to miss the Braves’ historic World Series run.Jason Walker 🦬@Jason_Walker24@DOBrienATL @Ken_Rosenthal ATL about to win the World Series again.

It was nauseating that they kept him after the domestic abuse arrest, and this is a clear indication that he hasn’t learned a damn thing.

In retrospect, it seems rather unlikely. MLB does not have a formal DUI suspension policy.(40-61) :(@WinkerFanPage@DOBrienATL @Ken_Rosenthal Marcell Ozuna beat up his wife on video and he got a slap on the wrist.

However, none of them faced suspensions.Taking those into account, it’s unlikely that the MLB will dish out any sentence of their own.
