So, he shouldn't have been suspended until after the trial? Maybe Toronto knew more than Houston did. Either way, Manfred was in a no-win position...which, I believe, comes with the job.

This topic got a lot of play up here in Canada. The fact that Osuna got (and accepted) a suspension of 75 games before the trial had even started may indicate the seriousness of the incident.
There is an unsubstantiated story that one of the investigating cops made an off the record statement that the victim was in really bad shape, and one of the worst he had ever witnessed. There was not a chance he would play for the Jays again. Roger's (who owns the Jays) are a publicly traded company, and it was rumored that Senior Management dictated he be gone. This was obviously not a baseball move, but a PR move. My understanding is the Astros made public a zero tolerance policy, and then updated it when they needed a reliever. The nature of the statement makes them look hypocritical.
