SAN FRANCISCO–Giants CEO Larry Baer will miss the first three months of the season after being suspended without pay by Major League Baseball for his role in a public altercation with his wife, Pam, on March 1.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that Baer’s leave of absence will be converted to an unpaid suspension that will last through July 1, 2019. Manfred released a statement Tuesday declaring that Baer shall have “no involvement in the operation of the Giants” and that the club shall be operated by an interim control person appointed by the team’s ownership group in consultation with the commissioner.
