MLB’s Harvey Suspension Spotlights Manfred’s Power as Bauer Awaits Appeal
Major League Baseball has suspended Baltimore Orioles pitcher Matt Harvey for 60 games after he admitted under oath in February that he illegally used cocaine and shared Percocet with the late Tyler Skaggs. Harvey’s suspension, issued on Tuesday, is less than one-fifth the 324-game suspension MLB recently imposed on former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer. Bauer has been accused of domestic violence, but he adamantly maintains his innocence and has not been charged with a crime.
Can these two penalties sensibly co-exist?
