Yankees' German Makes Public Apology

New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German made a public apology Wednesday for his actions that led to him serving a lengthy suspension under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.

He said through a translator he wanted “to sincerely apologize to the Steinbrenner family, my teammates, the front office and those around me who love me. I have made mistakes of which I’m not proud of.”

German was suspended in January 2020 by MLB for 63 games for a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend. Because last season was shortened due to the pandemic, he missed all of it plus the playoffs.
