NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball has unveiled its first comprehensive domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.

The agreement, announced jointly Friday by the commissioner's office and the players' union, has been in the works since last year, following a series of high-profile domestic violence cases involving NFL players.

The policy covers treatment and intervention, education, investigation, and discipline of players.
