Mike Clevinger under investigation for spousal AND child abuse

Post by Spider John »

Mike Clevinger, a starting pitcher who signed with the Chicago White Sox earlier this offseason, is under investigation for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy, a source told ESPN on Tuesday, confirming an initial report by The Athletic.

The investigation stems from allegations made by a woman, Olivia Finestead, who accused Clevinger of physical and emotional abuse toward his three children and their two mothers, herself included.

Remember when Clevinger whined about Tatis’s “maturity?”

Get lost bro. You’re done.

People that abuse children should be castrated and fed their own balls.

The White Sox have had some bad decision making in recent years.

Mickey Callaway as the pitching coach of Bauer and Clevinger really was an awful cesspool in Cleveland.

I tend to lean toward let’s let the details come out, but if he hurt his infant daughter there isn’t a harsh enough punishment for me.

Yeah, pretty gross. The Athletic reported, I think, that his gf/wife said he slapped her then threw his used dip on their daughter....which, if true, is just disgusting. I mean, it's physically gross. But the emotional aspect too of using the daughter/doing bad things to her in an effort to hurt the mom is just as bad.

Didn't they not listen to him? Big reason both were gone. Bauer especially had too much influence on that staff that they didn't like.

Like I specifically read that both were off on their own. Who knew it might have been because of sociopathic behavior and not only selfishness. Both are freaks and should be out of baseball.
