HOUSTON — Mike Clevinger had more on his plate in the offseason than most after signing a one-year, $12 million free-agent deal with the White Sox, dealing with Major League Baseball’s investigation into domestic violence allegations brought against him by the mother of his infant daughter.
The investigation was ongoing as Clevinger reported to camp in early February. He and general manager Rick Hahn answered questions about it on the first day of spring training, and then Clevinger prepared for the season on a normal schedule. On March 5, MLB announced he would face no discipline.
