The suspended hurler released social media posts that hinted at retirement
New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Domingo German is in the midst of an 81-game suspension for a domestic violence incident from last year. With 63 games remaining on the punishment, the soonest he would play again would be in 2021, given the 60-game slate this season. However, if his recent activity on Instagram is to be believed, he may be have thrown his last pitch.
