MLB puts Roberto Alomar on ineligible list after reviewing sexual misconduct allegation

Alomar’s contract as a consultant to MLB in Puerto Rico was terminated, as anyone on the ineligible list is banned from working in the league office or for any team in the majors or affiliated minors. He also served on commissioner Rob Manfred’s competition committee and worked for theas a special assistant, but that position was restructured as part of wider cost-cutting moves last September.

The discipline comes after an external law firm hired by MLB investigated the allegation and presented its findings to commissioner Rob Manfred, who determined a violation of league policies occurred.It is a stunning fall from grace for an industry giant, beloved both in his native Puerto Rico and in Toronto, where his No. 12 is retired and his name interwoven into the fabric of the franchise.

Major League Baseball has in recent months faced a public reckoning for its treatment of women in the industry. Back in January, a report from’s Mina Kimes and Jeff Passan about a string of unsolicited and inappropriate messages Jared Porter sent a woman led to his firing as New York Mets general manager.subsequently reported on former Mets manager Mickey Callaway’s serial harassment of women in New York and Cleveland, when he was the pitching coach there.

The Alomar case is the latest evidence of how widespread the problem is, although his effective banning from the sport is a sign that men of accomplishment won’t be allowed to hide behind their status.

WE HAVE HYPOCRISY UPDATES!

Did they not realize that he did this for most of his career? That's not to excuse it but wondering what is different now.

“Beloved in his native Puerto Rico and in Toronto” despite being the typeof scumbag who spits on people he disagrees with.

The BLUEJAYS will always be my team, but ROBERTO ALOMAR will always be my favorite baseball player.... no 'allegation' or 'investigation' will ever change that MLB!

This is like pretending Bill Clinton was never the President of the United States

Ridiculous

But they keep the steroids Cheaters on list and Pete Rose is still banned 🙄

Wasn’t this a thing about 15 years ago as well?

If true. Kick him out of HOF

MLB baseball drawing their ethical lines with crayons. What is right and not right? Yet there was nothing done for this guy's actions.

This hit Robbie’s boyfriend like a ton of bricks.

SNETCampbell And this is new. He was always a self proclaimed ladies man

That damn Hazel Mae at it again! First it was Brian Burke and now Roberto Alomar Wow! That girl gets around.

And the f he is found innocent of charges does his eligibility period reset?

Not sure why but this doesn't shock me at all.

Should have been done the same day he spit on the umpire.

Shame on Robbie

WTF

FAN590 Robbie...NNOOOO!!!

Didn’t read...was there spitting involved...again?

Guess I was misunderstanding the “Catch the Taste” tag line all this time.

Um. This could be nearly every player of that era.

If these allegations are true I hope the Blue Jays take down his HOF banner and remove his name from the Level of Excellence.
