 Gurriel  mocked Darvish by pulling up the edges of his eyes  an overtly racist gesture against Asian people (Darvish is of Japanese and Iranian descent). He also used racist slurs during the game  which was the third of seven in the Series.
 Gurriel  released a formal apology  and Darvish tweeted after the game that it was more important to learn from the incident than  the vilify Gurriel . Along with announcing the suspension  the MLB commissioner also offered a sense of why the punishment would be pushed to the 2018 season.
4. Delaying the suspension would allow  Gurriel  to exercise  his  rights under the grievance procedures negotiated between MLB and the MLB Players Association  if  he  so desired. In the time since Manfred made his decision  he has gotten the sense that  Gurriel  will not be appealing the suspension.

Puig sticks out his tongue and everybody in baseball gets pissed.  Yuli Gurriel  makes possibly a racial gesture and nobody says anything. Pretty pathetic â Anthony Gonzalez (@DatDudeGonz) October 28  2017
