TORONTO – Major League Baseball is placing Roberto Alomar on its ineligible list after reviewing an allegation of sexual misconduct against the Hall of Fame second baseman.
Alomar’s contract as a consultant to MLB in Puerto Rico was terminated, as anyone on the ineligible list is banned from working in the league office or for any team in the majors or affiliated minors. He also served on commissioner Rob Manfred’s competition committee and worked for the Toronto Blue Jays as a special assistant, but that position was restructured as part of wider cost-cutting moves last September.

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 4/3/21 The Washington Nationals were scheduled to take on the New York Mets on Thursday for Opening Day, but the club s COVID-19 issues prevented that from happening.
Now the Nats are hoping to get their season underway on Monday against the Atlanta Braves. According to The Athletic s Britt Ghiroli and Ken Rosenthal, Washington has returned no new positive COVID-19 tests, which is a good sign entering next week.
The #Nationals do not have any new positive COVID-19 cases from their latest round of testing, sources tell @Ken Rosenthal and me.
The hope is they are cleared to work out at Nats Park this weekend before hosting the Braves. Britt Ghiroli (@Britt Ghiroli) April 3, 2021
