Oh I am so glad the Reds have all the good character people, they must have a wonderful team chemistry. I bet the rest of the league is envious

Way to miss the point.

The Devil Rays optioned Dukes to the minor leagues in concert with putting him on the inactive list on June 23, a move the team said would give him time away from the game to try to straighten out his personal life.

Whoops. Guess that didn't work.

Let's hang the guy on a rail.

According to the article,
"Dukes violated the order by telephoning her on July 21 and asking to speak to the children."

Oh my god! He wants to speak to his children. Call the cops.

I remember when Michael Jordan retired, he said he was going home to be a "regular father": you know, drive the kids to school and stuff. Something he had never done before since he was so completely consumed with basketball.

Focus on whatever part of the article you want to. That's cool. I was alluding to the fact that his estranged wife felt threatened enough to get a restraining order in the first place. To each his own.
