San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle is being accused by his wife of abuse. He is being investigated by Major League Baseball.
His wife Caroline made the allegations via a post through TikTok with the following video caption.
“When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I’ve been raising two boys alone.”
The Giants also made a statement that they are aware of the allegations and that MLB is handling the situation. Here is what Giants manager Bob Melvin said of the investigation of Hjelle.
“Obviously, we’re aware of it. He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it’s in their jurisdiction right now, so I really can’t comment on it further.”
He also said that he would be available for the Saturday game but ultimately, he didn’t play. After Sunday’s game, he talked to the reporter and said that he was waiting to speak to his agent and lawyer before giving a statement. He also mentioned that Caroline and him are getting through a divorce for more than a year.
Hjelle told reporters, “We reached an agreement in mediation this offseason. In the state of Virginia we had to wait a full year of separation, which was filed last May. So the official divorce decree has been delayed because of me starting in Sacramento, and per the terms of the agreement there were some nuances and what not.”
“So that part has actually been delayed. But for all intents and purposes the divorce is a signature away from being officially finalized.”
The Giants’ star is in his fourth major league season in 2025.
