Jose Reyes reportedly might be suspended for at least 60 games

Reyes has been placed on paid administrative leave since Feb 23, at the time while waiting for legal proceedings to end, stemming from an Oct. 31, 2015, incident in Hawaii involving Reyes and his wife, Katherine. Reyes was arrested in November, but the domestic abuse charges were dropped on March 30.

The upgraded domestic violence policy enacted by MLB and the Players Association last August allows the commissioner to levy punishment in domestic violence cases regardless of whether or not the player is convicted or pleads guilty to a crime.

As Heyman explains, the Chapman incident might be a guide for the pending Reyes suspension:

Reyes’ offense has been seen as more serious, as hotel workers at their Maui hotel reported that Reyes’ wife Katherine suffered injuries to her neck, wrist and thigh. Katherine did not cooperate with police, leading to charges being dropped. Nor has she cooperated with MLB.

Heyman additionally notes that an 80-game suspension for Reyes is “a fair ballpark estimate,” according to some.” Whatever the length, the suspension for Reyes is expected to be announced “in coming days,” per Heyman.

Commissioner Rob Manfred, under the domestic violence policy, has the option to convert the time already missed by Reyes as part of the suspension, and thus retroactively unpaid, but it is unknown whether he will do so.
