Mets may need to wait on potential Familia suspension news

By the time pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 13, MLB commissioner Rom Manfred's office will most likely still be conducting its investigation into the allegation that Jeurys Familia committed an act of domestic violence in October, 2016.

In December, Familia's legal representative, Jay Reisinger, told ESPN.com that having the charges dropped and the lack of evidence could help MLB rule that a suspension is not necessary.

However, people involved with similar situations told me in December that MLB could find grounds for suspension based entirely on comments made by his wife during the initial 911 call to police.
