MLB Issues Three-Game Suspension To Gabe Speier
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Mariners left-hander Gabe Speier has been suspended for three games and fined for intentionally throwing at Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres, with Seattle manager Dan Wilson receiving a one-game suspension.
- Speier is appealing his suspension, so it is currently on hold, while Wilson will serve his suspension immediately as managers have no appellate rights.
- The incident followed escalating tensions in the game, including multiple hit batters by Mariners starter Bryan Woo and a hit-by-pitch on Seattle’s Cal Raleigh by Tigers pitcher Enmanuel De Jesus.
- Speier and Wilson were ejected after the benches cleared in the eighth inning, leaving the Mariners to play short-handed temporarily.
- It is expected that Speier will drop his appeal after pitching heavily in upcoming games, likely reducing his suspension to two games.
