Yasmany Tomas Arrested After Reportedly Driving 105 MPH On Phoenix Freeway

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Yasmany Tomas was arrested in Phoenix on Thursday morning after police clocked him going 105 mph on a local freeway. He has been accused of reckless driving and criminal speeding.

Tomas was pulled over around 9:30 a.m. His 2015 Mercedes was impounded, and he was taken to a local jail. He was not found to be under the influence at the time.

The Diamondbacks issued a statement Thursday afternoon:

“We are very disappointed to learn of this news. We are still gathering facts, and will refrain from further comment at this time as this is a pending legal matter.”

Tomas, who signed a six-year, $68 million contract with the Diamondbacks out of Cuba in 2014, sat out most of last year with groin and core injuries.
