According to the Associated Press and ESPN NY, Mets "Closer" Francisco Rodriguez is facing new criminal charges.
There was an order of protection against Rodriguez, and it is being reported that he texted his girlfriend 56 times apologizing and wanting to get back together with her. Rodriguez will now be charged with Criminal Contempt.
Rodriguez is on the disqualified list, and has had surgery to repair torn ligaments in his thumb, which the Mets contend happened in the brawl with his girlfriends father.
The Mets need to remove this problem from the team. It's about time the Mets made players accountable for their actions both on and off the field. The Mets should, but won't, take a stand and release KRod, Castillo, and Perez.
Hopefully with these new charges levied against KRod will be the beginning of the end of his stormy Mets career.
