Matt Harvey faces MLB suspension

Real life and MLB are two different worlds and just because an action hasn’t been punished in civil doesn’t mean it can’t be in MLB. The best example? Trevor Bauer.

MLB can also choose to give immunity in certain cases (including the theft of Astros signals) or suspend a player in the context of baseball, even if the justice has immunized him.

And that’s what happens in the case of Matt Harvey. The latter, who obtained immunity in the Tyler Skaggs case, testified that yes, he had indeed given opioids to Skaggs before his death.

This means that justice can do nothing, but that MLB can suspend it. He faces at least 60 days of suspension.

Obviously, if he is suspended, he can appeal. MLB cannot currently suspend him due to the lockout and Harvey is ineligible to sign a minors contract because he played in Baltimore in 2021.

The main concerned is aware that he is already not the most coveted pitcher at the base, that his legacy in major league baseball is affected and that does not give him a huge chance of signing an MLB contract l next year since the teams might be afraid to sign him.

This whole story is immensely sad for everyone. The world of baseball must learn to better manage the management of painkillers since the risks of it overflowing are enormous.

I know, it’s easier said than done.

• A matter of time before seeing Juan Soto do much better.

• At least he’ll be immune for a few months.
