Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes has been arrested in Hawaii on charges of domestic violence. Reyes allegedly shoved his wife during an argument in their Four Seasons hotel room, and authorities say Reyes also grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against a sliding door according to Hawaii News Now.

Reyes’ wife Katherine reportedly has injuries to her neck, back and wrist, and she was taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center. Reyes has since been released on bail.

Reyes’ career could be in jeopardy based on this incident if the NFL’s domestic violence issue is any indicator. In an effort to avoid the whirlwind of controversy that swept up the NFL in the wake of former Ravens running back Ray Rice’s incident, which was caught on tape, MLB strengthened its own policy in August. Rice, a former Pro Bowler, has not been able to latch onto an NFL team this season despite a rash of injuries hitting the running back position across the league.

The new policy gives MLB commissioner Rob Manfred broad power to administer punishment as he sees fit, and a conviction is not required for discipline. Any appeal will be heard by a three-person panel consisting of a representative from each side in addition to an independent arbitrator.

Reyes is about to be the test case for MLB’s new policy, and the public outcry against Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy’s continued presence on the field will undoubtedly be damaging for Reyes. Manfred is allowed to place Reyes on “administrative leave” for up to seven days before taking disciplinary action, although the timing of Reyes’ incident is tricky.

Reyes is owed $22 million a year through 2018, and his contract is fully guaranteed. A lengthy suspension is likely, but it’s a near certainty, barring prison time, that Reyes will eventually be back on the diamond. Reyes said during the summer that he’d welcome a trade from Colorado – where he was dealt as part of the Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto trade – but with this baggage and his hefty salary, its unlikely he will get his wish.

Reyes, 32, showed signs of serious decline in 2015. Reyes won the batting title in 2011, his final season with the Mets, and since then has settled in as a .280 hitter good for 20-30 stolen bases when healthy. He’s been a slight negative in the field for the last three seasons, but 2015 marked his first campaign as a big minus at the plate. He was worth -10.2 runs as a hitter between the Blue Jays and Rockies, and slashed .274/.310/.378.

The Rockies released a statement expressing disappointment in Reyes, and now it looks like all parties involved will be losers. MLB has a high-profile domestic violence case on their hands, Reyes has made himself toxic to every other team in the big leagues, and the Rockies are saddled with an enormous contract they undoubtedly planned on moving this offseason to a contender.
