That’s incredibly sad, especially for their newly conceived child.

My naive statement of the day: this is extremely selfish of them both.

I thought it was mentioned that if and when a player opted out they cannot opt back in at any point during the season.

I think it depends on the reason for their opt out, but I couldn't quickly find that.

If true, that answers my question. Oh well.

I just hope Michael comes out of this whole situation OK, because this has to be a difficult time.

Wow. Splitting up at the same time with a new born on the way. I can't image a worst scenario.

However will he move on from his long 5-month marriage?

It might not be his kid, and they have ways to know that before the kid is born now. Hence the Maury Povich meme. 

I think this is the most likely scenario and would explain a bunch.

Yep. Only so few reasons you’d divorce your pregnant wife before the child is due.

There are basically only 3 reasons to do that:

1. Not your kid

2. She's fucking nuts

3. Both 1. and 2.

Warning for entire thread: Don't speculate like assholes without any information or proof to back it up. It's a marriage and his life, not simply about baseball. 

 

I feel for Kopech man. This is why I said before he tied the knot that I will never understand athletes marrying so young.

It would make sense, but how far along is she? It appears at least a couple of months. She would cheat on him a month or two in a marriage seems at least a little far fetched. Maybe not I suppose. I am sure we will find out about that part. 
We just have to hope he is doing well, and this doesn’t take him to a dark place.
Divorces are tough with kids involved.

I don't think Vanessa would be posting long happy posts on social media if she cheated on him and it wasn't his kid. The optics just wouldn't look good. She may announce a pregnancy, but I doubt she'd take it that far if it wasn't Kopech's kid.

Did you read what she actually said? It didn't sound that happy to me.

I believe out of respect for two human beings going through something like this we should avoid speculation. It must be a painful situation for everyone involved. It doesn't really matter what they do for a living.

True but unfortunately when even one part of the couple leads a public life let alone both, it's going to happen.

So I guess no one took the warning seriously. Let's try this a different way. 

The speculation about who's child it might be, who cheated on who, why someone got divorced ends now. Let's all try and have just a shred of human decency around a 24 year olds divorce that seemingly is keeping him out of the entire season. 

If the speculation continues, the 5 day suspensions are next. 

Tony this is my fault, I didn't see your warning until after I made a few posts and replied to them. 

Apologies for the thread derailment.

Is this not an open forum? Cancel culture on soxtalk? 

If it takes a village we can be Michael's village.

Following the board rules that you agree to when you sign up isn't "cancel culture", sorry bud.

Kopech is the father according to her reps (on twitter)
