dominican-carlos-martinez-is-suspended-for-domestic-violence-and-child-abuse

A Dominican player is once again in the news in Major League Baseball and again in a negative way. This time it was pitcher Carlos Martínez, who was suspended for 85 games retroactive to 19 June, for violating the Joint Policy on Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse. Likewise, it should be noted that he is currently a free agent.

But that is not all, it is the second time that the right of 30 years receives a suspension by the commissioner of the Major Leagues, after having violated the policy against the use of prohibited substances to enhance performance.

“The Tsunami”, despite having enormous experience in Major League baseball Leagues, has not been able to see action since the fourth of July of 2021. At that time, he was part of the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants.

It is important to highlight that each of the two sanctions will prevent the player receive not a single penny of salary as an active player. Of course, adding both punishments, the gunsmith will be out of the mound for a full season.

Regarding his career in the Majors, Martínez has played a total of nine seasons, all with the uniform of Cardinals of Saint Louis. In this section, it has a record of (62-52) with 927 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.74.

Finally, this is the third time that a Dominican player has been involved in a controversy in his life away from the field. In the first instance, the suspension of Fernando Tatis Jr., then Marcell Ozuna driving while intoxicated and now the suspension of the free agent, Carlos Martínez.2022
