The San Diego Padres placed pitcher Jose Torres on the restricted list. When the news came out yesterday, no reason was supplied. Now we find out it’s due to a domestic abuse charge:
The Padres placed Torres on the restricted list Monday and announced he will not report to spring training. “We take this matter very seriously and are fully cooperating with the investigation being conducted by the Commissioner’s Office. We will not have any further comment at this time,” said the team’s statement.
According to the probable cause statement contained in the court report, Torres knocked a door off its hinges and punched a hole in another door. He also pointed the gun at the victim, according to the report.
Torres was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, criminal damage and making threats or intimidation.
His next appearance in Maricopa County Superior Court is a pretrial conference scheduled for Feb. 20.
MLB has come down hard on offenders in recent years, even if the charges are dropped.
