The San Francisco County District Attorney's office said on Wednesday that San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer will not face criminal charges in an indictment that followed a public dispute with his wife on March 1, NBC News reports.
Details: Prosecutors will not proceed with the case against the Giants chief executive in the wake of a thorough review of the evidence, including "multiple videos, statements from several witnesses and the parties themselves," Alex Bastian, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said. Meanwhile, MLB has filed its own inquiry and is moving forward with the fact-finding process to determine next steps.
Japan's Olympic Committee chief Tsunekazu Takeda, who is under investigation for suspected corruption, will step down when his term ends this summer and resign from the International Olympic Committee.
Why it matters: The ongoing corruption probe has further damaged the credibility of the Olympics bidding process, and Takeda's departure leaves a dark cloud hanging over next year's Summer Games in Tokyo.
