Julio Urias Update: Scott Boras Shares Latest on Embattled Dodgers Free Agent
A significant update has dropped in the Julio Urias situation. The former Dodgers pitcher who is now a free agent ended his final month in a Dodger uniform on administrative leave while under investigation for a domestic violence arrest in early September. Both Major League Baseball and local law enforcement were looking into the allegations in which Urias reportedly assaulted a woman after an LAFC game in Los Angeles.
Few updates have come out since his arrest and subsequent removal from the Dodgers. Late in September, the embattled pitcher did not show up to a court hearing in LA as, at the time, he still had technically not been charged with any crime.
On Wednesday morning at the MLB General Managers Meetings, Urias’s agent Scott Boras addressed reporters and touched on the situation for the 27-year-old.
Whatever decision law enforcement may or may not come to on Urias isn’t certain to play a defining role in the left-hander’s future in Major League Baseball. If authorities find there isn’t enough evidence to press charges on Urias, the league may still likely issue a significant suspension for violating the joint domestic violence policy.
The pitcher was previously suspended for 20 games for violating the DV policy in 2019.
Will The Dodgers Re-Sign Julio Urias?
The Dodgers have made their position clear on Urias with not only words but also action. The club not only issued a statement on the day the arrest became public, but manager Dave Roberts and top exec Andrew Friedman have spoken in ways that show little to no path back to LA. Shortly after the September 3 arrest, memorabilia and depictions of Julio Urias were removed all around Dodger Stadium, staining his once heroic legacy for the ballclub.

Let him go. There are better people. Don’t pollute great team energy.
What a hater
Julio Urías trash ??
I have followed the Dodgert for 62 years. Players are human like everyone else. The public is always guick to judgement.Let due process run its course. None of us and I mean none of us has stake on the outcome. Except being vicious, yes vicious
Too many times man..he made a mistake 1st time and he was given a chance.
You don’t get too many chances when have a privilege life like had.
Maybe he’ll finally learn it. Pendejo.
Who’s hating? Your going to defend this guy? You know what he’d do to you if you disagreed with him?
Estupido y mas PENDEJO.
Why a hater what if it was your daughter?
Alfredo What if it was your son been arrested for crime he didn’t commit! Cause they have never had any evidence . It’s a witch hunt that’s how it looks to me
Didn’t you watch the video of Urias striking the woman?
Remember there’s always two sides to the story let’s not crucified the guy …
He will pitch again for a different club and will be good and stronger
We’ll wish ? he was a dodger
Just like belinger. You remember that.!
What’s an abuser always an abuser. Man like this should not be pitching on our team. Didn’t you read it? Did this back in 2019.
It’s “once an abuser, always an abuser”.
Correct
The Dodgers should have let the Rookie pitchers pitch in Game 1. Our Relief Pitching was awesome so they would have had great support. Also Taylor and Kike both should have started in Game 1. They got us the World Series win before. They both play excellent in the Postseason. Betts, Peralta and Kershaw were nursing injuries and they should have sat out more to help their injuries get better.
Agree on all counts!
You are so correct Linda. I want you for or coach next year!!
I tend to agree with most of what you said Linda. Either way if our superstars had stepped up the outcome could have been different. Personally i believe they over prepare with analytics. Too predictable. Opponent pitchers know to change up routine. I saw too many missed bsts fooled by unexpected pitches, combined with watching a called strike the hitter had not counted on. Both in 2022 and 2023 playoffs. Over coached, and anticipated by opponents.
You go girl?
Y tu eres perfecto o que???
So letting a group of men mock God is ok ??
I’m sure we all are guilty of something in our lives the only difference is we haven’t been caught yet.
Even Jesus said” he who has No sin, cast the first stone.”
Where is the mercy and forgiveness we should show so we in turn can receive mercy and forgiveness.
Agreed. We were huge fans of Urias. He let everybody down, all likely because he was having a bad season and couldn’t handle his own disappointment.
The dodgers like all other big organizations don’t see players as humans. They don’t see when players need special attention. They should know by previous comments that the thrash talk is exactly the atmosphere that generate the CA. Area. Management was at fault in more cases as they use players untill they get in trouble and through them away like thrash. The CA. Area apparently resembles the comments which I saw written earlier.
If the Dodger organization don’t see players as humans why is Andrew Tols still on Dodger payroll for the past few years struggling with his mental illness??
The Dodgers needed Julio’s pitching in the playoffs. He could have made a difference.
The way things were trending it could have just been a 3-1 series… Urias had a bad attitude in his last outing and while he may have pitched with some fire. It wouldn’t be enough, dodgers were on their back foot the entire time.
Good riddance and I don’t wish that guy any luck. A man laying hands on a woman is never justified.
Keep that same energy if she’s abusing your kids or trying to murder you.
AND HIS GIRLFRIEND NEEDED ANOTHER SLAP TO STAY IN LINE.
His pitching was suspect and subpar when he left. He wouldn’t have made a difference even if he was Cy young material. The offense was gone, plain and simple. But either way, you can’t put wins/business over integrity. That’s trash thinking.
The Dodgers needed Julio’s pitching in the playoffs. He could have made a difference. I wonder if he will go to Japan and pitch there like Trevor Bauer did
Julio has a fire that was missing with the 26-man playoff roster. Could’ve used M Busch during the postseason too but for some reason the Dodgers are against young proven young players.
Urias has learned nothing from previously being arrested and suspended for the same activity. Tell him he can go pitch in the beer leagues in Mexico for $5,000.00 per year and beat all the streetwalkers in TJ. He is a loser. Will winning supercede good behavior for Doyer fan? Let’s see the Doyer way now.
what wsy
Boras will still go for the best possible deal for Urias once this investigation is totally done, and if so he may still get a suspension of some sort. Another team will attempt to sign him once he’s eligible to come back. Most likely not with Dodgers.
Easy to dump on Julio, and deservedly so after not learning after the first incident. I mean even if you don’t know or understand things, you should be able to learn that in a certain country, that even without a huge contract that he thought he would be now looking at, but he still has made more than he ever imagined he would make, there are things you do not do. But it would appear he did not.
He’s had a difficult bar to match, all the comparisons to the great Fernando, who while I don’t now him personally, I mean I’ve never met him, Fernando comes across so well, an easy smile, friendly, trying hard, all that stuff, he’s not been accused nor can I imagine him doing things like that. Still, doesn’t matter, even if it’s not the way you’re brought up, or know, you should be able to learn there are things you do not do, even if you feel like doing them.
Then again, he might be able to go to Japan, like some ex Dodger, oh, what was his name, who evaded legal trouble for strange, but apparently consensual behavior.. Different culture, things are regarded differently.
I’ll miss his arm, not not him. Hard to miss a guy that never smiled.
I like the way you think. I agree with every word you wrote. I couldn’t have expressed it better myself. I especially agree with your last sentence. ?
Keep that same energy if she’s abusing your kids or trying to murder you.
I hope he watched the playoffs and said ” damn I should be there with my team helping them “… I have no sympathy you this guy your team .. fans.. and the city of LA needed you and you let us all down. Even after mlb gave you a second chance.. good luck working a regular 8 to 5 job when your done with baseball this year. Your first domestic violence issue was a mistake your second time is a choice.. good riddance
LET HIM GO TO THE YANKEES. THEY GOT ALL BUMS ON THAT TEAM ALREADY !!
He’ll be a Yankee. 100%
No way Yankees touch him
He is a perfect fit for the Padres
Sad sad all around.
Sad sad all around
Why a hater what if it was your daughter?
You all got it wrong.have you all not learn from our lord when He was on the cross when He said ,forgive them Father for they not know what they do.We all must forgive our enemies and pray for them for love to grow within us,we are all humans.life for the living. Who know how Julio was raised up.
Sad to see players being used for the $’s, players make millions, owners make billions and the gambling world makes trillions. It only obvious that players must take PED’s in order to play 160 games a year so the ones above them cash in at the expense of the affects of PED’s have on players, hello smell the coffee
And you are so perfect arent you
Dodgers hitters is playoffs could use a little wisdom from the scene in the movie “The Last Samari,” ….. “too many minds” or “Maverick”, “don’t think, just do”
Always said he was set up…I agree he should’ve never been near her again but I really think she had a part in this play… God Only knows…if this were to happen to my Son someone would be drawing back a nub just saying….
The dodgers like all other big organizations don’t see players as humans. They don’t see when players need special attention.
