Domingo German Allegedly Slapped His Girlfriend in Front of an Official from the Commissioner’s Office

Domingo German is fighting for his career right now after he was placed on administrative leave under the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy.

The New York Yankees pitcher was accused of doing something towards his wife that wasn’t immediately made clear until New York Times writer Bob Klapisch stated he slapped his wife during an argument that was actually witnessed by an official from the Commissioner’s office.

I’m told the incident involving Domingo German and his girlfriend occurred late Monday night/Tuesday morning in a public setting – he allegedly slapped her during an argument. According to an MLB source, the incident was witnessed by an official from the Commissioner’s office.
