Former A’s outfielder taken into custody on domestic violence charges — it’s complicated

Milton Bradley was made for TMZ. In a perfect world it would be a two-way dynamic.

Bradley, the former major league outfielder who spent parts of two seasons with the Oakland A’s, was taken into custody Tuesday in a Los Angeles County courtroom at his arraignment on charges of spousal battery, TMZ Sports reported. He was cuffed and held on $175,000 bail.

It wasn’t Bradley’s first brush with the law. In 2013 he was charged with counts related to attacks on the woman who is now his ex-wife. TMZ reported then that the charges were related to five incidents in which Bradley, 39, allegedly attacked the woman with a bat and threatened her with a knife.
