Guerrero's Trouble in the Dominican

Former Oriole Vladimir Guerrero was reported to be in police custody today for his part in a brawl that took place in the Dominican Republic.  As MLB.com's Joey Nowak reported:

"Nine-time All-Star and 2004 American League MVP Vladimir Guerrero was in police custody in the Dominican Republic on Tuesday and was being charged with physical and verbal assault to an authority, according to multiple reports."

Guerrero is still currently a free agent, having not caught on with an MLB team this year.  He was linked to Cleveland and the Yankees, but it seems that both teams moved in other directions.  As most Oriole fans can remember, Guerrero is just a DH nowadays, having lost his mobility and ability to play the outfield at a high level.

Nowak also went on to report that:

"A report by the newspaper Dominican Today said that the National Police revealed that Guerrero was being sought for an alleged aggression against a police major and for "unleashing a brawl in the discotheque."

"An NBC Sports report said that Guerrero had been taken into police custody and charged." 

This news story could very well impact Guerrero's chances of returning to an MLB team this year, even later on in the season.  It's sad to hear things like this about former Orioles players.  With that said, Guerrero was always a player that I admired.  His accomplishments certainly warrant consideration for the  Hall of Fame one day!  Best of luck to him getting through this ordeal and returning to baseball.
