6 years agoToday in the “Roberto Osuna’s leave extended again” category, the Toronto Blue Jays closer’s administrative leave has...wait for it...once again been extended, this time to June 25. As we write every week, this is simply just a formality as the legal process plays out. His leave will continue to be extended by Major League Baseball until the case is resolved and a potential suspension is issued (or not issued). Osuna’s initial hearing was actually on Monday, but it was mainly for procedural purposes without any real progress. His next court date will be on July 9, a hearing at which his attorney has stated Osuna plans to plead not guilty to the assault charge levied against him in early May. The odds are becoming increasingly likely that we don’t see Osuna suit up again in 2018.--John Smith
