The rest of the AFL counted, so it's more like 38 or something now but yeah
50 games for weed. And only because he wasn't on the 40 man. Gotta love the players union's attitude towards minor leaguers

I mean forget being traded, the guy might legitimately end up being deported.
I understand he's fairly well off and has the rich guy legal system, but you kinda can't ignore an incident like this.

LOL Reds probably thought they could sneak it by them and get it approved before the Dodgers found out.

Reds knew about this in advance?

Manfred should step in and force the Reds to trade Chapman for Carl Crawford as a punishment for their shenanigans.

Of course. Wouldn't be surprised if the Diamondbacks balked too.

Carl Crawford would look great in pinstripes.
It would have to be, right? I'd sure hope so.

How does something like that just not get out? Aren't police reports public record?
He'll be an astro... Probably.
Holy shit at this Chapman news, if the Reds knew that is some kind of next level seediness.
There are tons of relievers the blue jays can get that would be cheaper and better than Mark fucking Lowe, him leaving should be a good thing.
As would Urias.
Appel and Martes for Miller.
I need to stop going to nyyfans..

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
so unless something drastically changes the most he can get charged with is firing a gun if that is not allowed there.
with no credible witness
no signs of injury
and many different stories
there is no way an assault or battery charge would happen, especially since by the woman's own story he never actually choked her as she said herself that he never stopped her from breathing (nor were there any signs of force used on her neck), thus even if his hands were near her throat that is merely a threaten to choke and not an actual choke.
either way you shouldn't invite your girlfriend you broke up with a month ago and your 4 month child to a party in general
for what? getting in an argument with another person and not harming them physically at all while he was potentially tackled by that other person's brother?
worst he is guilty of with the fight is verbal/mental abuse. The police reports clearly state there weren't any injuries to be noted at all.
people have arguments all of the time, and exes in general tend to paint the other in a bad picture if you broke up on bad terms.
I mean he might really be scum in general, but with a he said she said case and no evidence to back up anything besides that he fired a gun in his own garage while he was alone, it seems silly to condemn him to scum status without more proof.

Nevermind
*looks it up*
ah so that is the difference between assault and battery
people misuse the word assault so much then lol. (thus I will admit i didn't fully have the definition of assault correct but...)either way there is zero chance assault gets filed either. it's he said she said with no bodily harm, you can't press charges without any evidence and expect them to stick, it's likely why assault wasn't even listed in the original charges (they only mentioned battery from what i remember) I'm just used to assault being used as physical abuse, but I suppose that is battery.
but yeah unless he has home videos of stuff this will be completely thrown out without a doubt. no good lawyer will take a case where there is no evidence of the charges, and no lawyer that chapman can afford would ever lose a case like that.
I'm more curious if it is legal to fire your gun off in your garage where he is as that is the thing that could actually stick since there is proof of that.
I also want to go on record stating I have no feelings towards chapman at all (about all I know is he throws fast lol), he isn't on my team or anything, it just bothers me when people just read headlines and don't read the facts and start calling someone scum because some other person wrote a headline to make them sound like scum even if they aren't guilty of anything at all currently :/ (except for using his gun as a way to calm down which is just odd
)sad trombone sound
