A player accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend was eventually kicked out of the team.
US Fox Sports recently reported that ‘Major League New York Mets released outfielder Cary Lee (25), who was under investigation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, on the 8th (Korean time)’.
Metz cited “sexy”메이저사이트 as the reason for her release, not assault charges. Lee, who made her major league debut in 2021, spent most of her time in the minor leagues at Triple-A. His career in the big leagues consisted of a batting average of 0.100 (2 hits in 20 at-bats), 1 home run and 4 RBIs in a total of 13 appearances over the two seasons until last year.
Lee, who started this season at Triple A, played in 21 games before being released, recording a batting average of 0.185, one home run and seven RBIs. She doesn’t have good grades, but it’s unusual for her to be released early in the season because of poor performance in the minor leagues. For this reason, some say that the club felt burdened by Lee being investigated for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
Lee was charged with strangling and kicking his ex-girlfriend to the floor during last year’s Triple-A season. At the time, the Mets team immediately said in a statement, “We have reported this fact to MLB and will reserve comment on this incident until the related investigation is complete.”

Lee, who was nominated by Kansas City in the third round of the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft and went pro, moved to the New York Mets through a trade in February 2021, and made his major league debut in May of that year.
However, in February of last year, the Syracuse, New York, USA police issued an arrest warrant for Lee due to a complaint from his ex-girlfriend, and a civil lawsuit related to this is also ongoing. Lee, who was released on bail and was playing the season, was eventually hit with the mace of release.
Previously, the Los Angeles Dodgers also released Trevor Bauer (32), who was accused of assaulting a woman, in January. Bauer, the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner, is a pitcher who signed a large contract with the Dodgers for 3 years and 120 million dollars (approximately 159.4 billion won) ahead of the 2021 season. Bauer signed a contract with the Yokohama DeNA Baystars of Japan Professional Baseball last March and continues his career as a player.
