    He's got the personality where I think he's capable of doing this.
    However in the good old US of A you are innocent until proven guilty.
    I tend to believe her, but he has to have his day in court.

        If he is found innocent in court he can sue Cubs for lost wages.

            The Cubs didn't even suspend him, MLB did. And there is no sign that there is going to be any kind of court action. Plus, courts don't find people innocent. It's guilty vs. guilty. The burden of proof in a civil or administrative matter is totally different.\

            As to your question, of course not.

                        I assume MLB has a CBA they’re adhering to. Wonder if the players union has appealed the punishment. If not, I they probably agree with the punishment

                            I think he should be playing while this thing is on Appeal.

                                Cubs president Theo Epstein on Addison Russell: "We hold Addison Russell to an extremely high standard and we expect him to abide by that or he won't play another major league game for the Chicago Cubs ever again.''

                                        So what was the final outcome?
