Craig Monroe

Perhaps we now know the personal issues he is tending to. If true, what a vile piece of shit.

Kudos to Drew, Eli, et al. for talking about this!

By the way, the fact the Tigers / Bally's haven't at least formally suspended Monroe at this point is SICKENING.

Fox 2 has finally taken the story

From that, it does appear Monroe's absence is indeed a suspension - even if they aren't labeling it as such.

The local media was probably waiting for some involvement by the legal system in the situation.

Florida police are actively investigating the alleged crimes, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. Anyone with information is asked to come forward.

Don’t pat them on the back too hard. They treat women like crap on their podcast.

On this specific topic, I thought the discussion on their show was appropriate.

Very weak joint statement on the part of Bally's and the Tigers. I suspect the Tigers have lawyered up and are paranoid about a potential civil suit. If the alleged conduct occurred while players in their farm system were boarding with foster families, they absolutely may have civil liability.

It allegedly started when he was in the Rangers organization. The "prostituting" claims are from his days as a Tiger.

According to the Detroit News, he's a freelancer and not an employee of either Diamond Sports or the Tigers, which further explains his situation. Both organizations have done all they can do by simply cutting ties with him.

Monroe, 47, is a freelance employee who was paid on a per-game basis for his work on the Tigers' television and radio broadcasts, with no minimum or maximum number of games in his agreement. Monroe received no health insurance or other benefits through his work on television or radio, and he is not being compensated during his absence. Bally Sports Detroit paid him for his work on TV, and the Tigers paid him for his work on radio.

Good work by Tony Paul of The Detroit News (as usual).

My only complaint regarding his article is the alleged abuse is more extensive than "sexual molestation."

And if its not true he will be forever "guilty" anyway.
I often get a bit nervous when somebody waits 25 years or so to bring something up then decide Instagram and twitter is the way to go. Didn't she have a TikTok account?

As someone who has investigated more sex abuse cases than I care to admit and remember, waiting years to disclose sex abuse is not at all unusual

I fully understand. That doesn't change the fact that false allegations also happen.
