MLB might suspend A-Rod, Braun, 20 others

[Abomination]

MLB is stooping to the NBA's level. Such a poorly run league. They are partaking in a witch hunt to try to restore fan confidence when it only proves that their own testing has been s***, and frankly any fans with a brain don't care at this point.

 

It could have some implications though, especially for A-Rod who could possibly see his contract voided if the transgressions are around the time he signed his extension. I don't know about you, but I really want them to have to eat that salary rather than get out from under it.

[Anemic0ffense]

I knew it!

 

I always knew Cruz was a roidhead... Guy just out of nowhere became great... I know you could say the same about Bautista, but 95% of the time, guys that emerge out of nowhere, like Cruz, stick the needle in their ass

Call up buffalo entire team

Negrych = 8.8 nWAR (narrative WAR)

[TheHurl]

any list that doesn't have JPA on it...I can't support a suspension. I'm truly tired of it it all.

This is mostly a means of finally nailing Ryan Braun IYAM

[Dr Negative]

Both the Mariners and the Yankees ended up losing that Montero for Pineda deal.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Not many good Canadian boys on that list

 

What is it with Mexican's and using PED's?

Canadians are bad baseball players, they only play a stupid game called Hockey

I didn't read through the thread, but was this specific incident what you were hearing like 6 months ago when you said something big was coming with a few huge names?

 

If so, cred restored!

Yeah. but according to my sources missing a big name.

 

A Melky's friend was the source. MLB was bribing to Tony Bosch; they was not very happy with the Braun case.

[AdamGreenwood]

I heard Munenori Kawasaki is on that list too.

[jays_fever]

Didn't Melky already receive a suspension? Or did he take something else again

[Stangstag]

I don't think he did it again. MLB will be suspending these players based on what they bought from this Bosch guy. Meaning that Melky will be suspended for stuff he purchased in 2011

[Cello]

No idea.

 

Rumour has it that some players may be suspended for up to 100 games this time.

 

Perhaps another 50 for Melky?

[leaffie]

Melky already fessed up and and has served his suspension. According to a lawyer just on Sirius, they can not suspend him again.

 

Lawyer is highly doubtful that other than the names being out there, that suspensions will hold up in court. Firstly, Bosch is receiving financial support for talking, and that never goes over very well. Secondly, names may be in the records, but MLB has no proof that the players took it. Someone on the list (can't remember which player) is linked because someone in his financial office was named.

 

Said that MLB is pursuing this for appearances. FWIW

[Wilnercibia]

He won't be suspended, however I would like to see Braun handed a big suspension.

 

Melky payed his dues

[kcjaysfan]

payed

 

This word does not mean what you think it means.

Latest news is Chris Perez Indians Closer being investigated for buying weed from the mail

i know that the worst that can happen is he gets fined with some hundred dollars, but c'mon

let these guys smoke, LEGALIZE IT

 

or maybe he should be traded to the giants

The media really botched this story, the latest details to come out take the pressure off Perez.

 

From that article:

"Police did acknowledge that they had been called to the house multiple times in the past for "criminal instances," but not since Perez has been living in the home ... those problems ceased after Perez moved into the home ... Stillman also said he is unaware of how long Perez had been renting the home."

 

Seems like it was meant to be sent to the previous renters and whoever sent the drugs messed up with the address.

 

Nah, i doubt he doesn't enjoy smoking a blunt when he gets home after closing out a game

 

would be a good excuse though

I don't have the link to confirm, but I believe Melky will be suspended for another 50 games, although I'm sure he will appeal it. When I was watching the story break and looking at the print, it clearly stated that any player who directly tries/tried to mislead MLB about their use, will automatically be subject to an additional 50 game penalty. They went on further to say that because Melky supposedly went as far as to put up some website in order to defend himself, that it constitutes him lying about it initially before eventually admitting to it.

 

I honestly think that Selig is going to stick this tag to Melky in order to make an example out of him for making such an extravagant effort to lie about it. Never mind the efforts he made after to come clean. I'm not sure it will stick on appeal, But I'm betting he gets tagged for an additional 50 and that if they think they have enough proof on Braun, the same will happen to him as well.

If that's the case though, why didn't Selig do that initially when he suspended Melky? I mean they don't need any additional evidence since he admitted it, right?

Perez is a douche.

[backontop]

Once and for all decide to allow steroids and their cousins or get rid of them. If the latter permantly ban all those who tried to cheat. Choose MLB one or the other! Who are you fooling by not letting Pete Rose in The Hall of Fame?
