Can't justify that, considering he's not MLB quality anymore.
Back when Osuna was accused of battery, I was in favour of dropping him. However, the charges were eventually dropped. So I do understand at the time the feelings around having someone like that accused of something that bad and not wanting any part of it while they go through that. But once they're acquitted or charges are dropped, there are always lingering doubts, but at a certain point it's over with. I don't think many pro athletes are good people in general, so I've kinda changed my position on where the bar is set with them. Ultimately now I think in terms of how will they get along with their teammates, and if they're pains to work with, perhaps they won't fit in. In his case, he's saying the right things and wants to fit in now, so with his upside being high, I say why not, that's all.
