If the New York Yankee catcher Gary Sanchez is controversial, Domingo German is even more controversial. Not for the same reason as Sanchez, but for a more egregious reason. In an act of poor judgment, the pitcher in public appeared to have slapped his wife during a dinner. MLB investigated, and German ended up being suspended for 80 games causing him to miss the 2019 playoffs and the entire shortened 2020 season. Fans were on the fence as to if the Yankees should take him back. Owner Hal Steinbrenner said he would have to prove to him that he was a changed man.
