Game Thread: ALDS 'A' Game 3 ⚾ Rangers (0-2) @ Blue Jays (2-0) - 7:38 PM ET

Bush has had his legal problems throughout his career, yes, but the Blue Jays did release him right after his only incident while associated with the team.

A few weeks after the Padres drafted him in 2004, Bush was arrested on suspicion of felony assault, misdemeanor trespass, disorderly conduct, and underage drinking, after he allegedly fought with security trying to escort him out of a bar.

First thing right after being drafted, when "He's young" was still a possible excuse.

In early 2009, Bush was allegedly involved in a drunken assault at a San Diego high school, which was caught on camera. According to witnesses, a drunken Bush beat up a high school lacrosse player with a golf club while screaming, "I'm Matt fucking Bush!", which was recorded on videotape.

One of the major things, still with the Padres organization.

This led the Padres to designate Bush for assignment following the team's signing of Floyd and then trade him to the Blue Jays.[3][8] Only a month later, he assaulted and berated a woman at a party in Florida, and was released by the Blue Jays for violating a "zero tolerance" agreement.[11]

The Jays gave him a second chance, but with the zero tolerance, he was released after.

The most major incident was the DUI, which came well after his time with the Jays.

For some context.
