SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson says the team was ”extremely disappointed and frankly shocked” that a domestic-violence complaint was filed against closer Jeurys Familia in a New Jersey court.
The complaint, dated Oct. 31, alleges the All-Star pitcher caused ”bodily injury to another.”
Speaking on Monday at the general managers meeting, Alderson says: ”He hasn’t had a hearing yet and so the facts are to be determined” and called it ”not just an unfortunate situation but a sad one for him and his family.”
Alderson adds ”secondarily, we’ll have to think about what impact it will have.”
The 27-year-old Familia led the majors with a franchise-record 51 saves this year and has 94 over the past two seasons for the Mets.
