Milton Bradley has been sentenced to nearly three years in jail for abusing his estranged wife. Bradley, who had faced up to 7 1/2 years in jail, also must perform 400 hours of community service. The 35-year-old played Major League Baseball for 11 seasons.

The Associated Press reports that former major league outfielder Milton Bradley was convicted Monday of abusing his estranged wife. A spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office said Bradley was convicted on nine misdemeanor counts, including assault with a deadly weapon and spousal battery. Prosectors said Bradley threatened and attacked his five times between 2011 and 2012. He will be sentenced on July 2 faces up to 7 1/2 years in prison. Bradley, 35, played 11 seasons in MLB.

TMZ.com reports that Milton Bradley has been charged with 13 counts related to several alleged attacks on his estranged wife and could get up to 13 years in prison. According to the report, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has filed charges against Bradley, 34, stemming from five different incidents involving spousal battery, criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and dissuading a witness from making a report. Bradley didn't play in 2012, but his career in baseball is obviously over.

The Rockies met Wednesday with Milton Bradley's agent, according to the Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer. Bradley was released from the Mariners in mid-May after batting just .218/.313/.356 and has since been accused by his wife of making threats of violence. It'd be surprising to see the Rockies give him a shot.

Milton Bradley is denying charges that he threatened to kill his wife with a gun late last month. Monique Bradley filed for a restraining order soon after the incident, and now Milton is trying to have it dismissed. The former major league outfielder told a Los Angeles Court Tuesday that his wife has a "habit of making false charges," citing other claims of arguments that turned violent. Bradley was released by the Mariners in May and is unlikely to return to Major League Baseball.

Court documents obtained by TMZ.com allege that Milton Bradley threatened to kill his wife last month. Bradley's wife, Monique Bradley, alleges that her husband threatened her with a baseball bat during an incident on September 27 and picked up a photo of a gun and told her, "This is the gun that I'm going to kill you with." She added that Bradley has been "emotionally and physically abusive" throughout their marriage, but she would often take him back because "I genuinely believed that one day I could fix him." A hearing on the matter is scheduled for October 25, and, in the meantime, Monique has filed a restraining order.

According to Andrew Blankstein of the Los Angeles Times, Milton Bradley was arrested Tuesday afternoon in the San Fernando Valley on suspicion of felony battery. Bradley was arrested earlier this year for allegedly making threats against his wife. Police were sent to the same address for Tuesday's arrest, though details of the incident aren't yet available. Bradley, who hasn't played since being cut loose by the Mariners in May, was released on bail and is due back in court on October 18.
