MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer has been suspended without pay until July 1 following an incident caught on video in which Baer appeared to drag his wife to the ground during an argument.
"Based on my review of the results of the investigation, I have concluded that Mr. Baer's conduct was unacceptable under MLB policies and warrants discipline. In determining the appropriate level of discipline, I find that Mr. Baer should be held to a higher standard because as a leader he is expected to be a role model for others in his organization and community. "
