When the Houston Astros traded for Roberto Osuna in July, they did so knowing his situation. He was charged with assault in an alleged domestic violence incident in Canada. He was serving a 75-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy. And there was a chance the situation could get worse as more facts came to light.
On Tuesday, the Astros got some good news. The assault charge was withdrawn in exchange for Osuna agreeing to a peace bond, which forbids him from contacting the alleged victim and mandates that he continue counseling.
