“Tampa Bay star Randy Arozarena was detained in Mexico after an incident in which he allegedly tried to take his daughter from her mother and assaulted the woman’s father, sources told ESPN, confirming a Yucatán Ahora report. MLB’s Department of Investigations is looking into it,” Passan said in his tweet.

While details are scant, Passan went on to explain that Arozarena’s incident could lead to a massive penalty from MLB, as it would fall under the league and MLBPA’s joint domestic violence policy.

Because the incident involves family, any potential discipline from MLB against Arozarena would fall under the league and union’s joint domestic violence policy. The prosecutor handling the case in Mexico said today further information on the case will come in the next few days.
