February 12, 20188 yr Per Jeff Passan on Twitter This is a new one: Esteban Loaiza, drug kingpin. The second-winningest pitcher from Mexico in MLB history was arrested Friday with 20 kilos of heroin or cocaine, according to San Diego police records. He'll be in court Wednesday to face felony drug charges. Details are in pics. He was just at Sox Fest a few weeks ago. His charges are detailed in the photos.
February 12, 20188 yr Link Here's the link to Passan's tweet with some more deatils regarding the matter.
February 12, 20188 yr Yikes. Shades of Sam Hurd right there. As a fellow (half) Mexican, this is very disappointing to hear.
February 12, 20188 yr That's really sad. He could have made such a big impact and this is what he decided to do. Really disappointing.
February 12, 20188 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 09:14 AM) That's really sad. He could have made such a big impact and this is what he decided to do. Really disappointing. There had been rumors (mexican tabloids and such) that he's been around this stuff his whole career so who knows.
February 12, 20188 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 09:33 AM) Is he really a kingpin or is he more of a mule? Kingpins don't get caught red handed. They are insulated.
February 12, 20188 yr Kinda random but it's a really strange coincidence that Roy Halladay, who he lost the Cy Young to, died in a plane crash as did his wife who he was in the process of divorcing, the singer Jenni Rivera.

February 12, 20188 yr Baseball players have to be a great market to sell cocaine. Lots of money. Lots of long road trips and hours. Lots of alcohol and partying. Doesn't stay in your system long. Somebody has to get all these players their coke.

Didn't Halladay have a substance in his system when he died too? if I'm not mistaken coke?

February 12, 20188 yr QUOTE (BurlyMan56 @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 10:12 AM) Hiding in plain sight at Sox Fest. Smh! I'm actually wondering if he sold any to former-players that weekend.

February 12, 20188 yr Millionaires with disposable income can get into "investment" opportunities with the cartels. Who knows how deep some ex-players could be in these things.

Who knows how deep some ex-players could be in these things. yea this could be the start of a great book. I wonder if Esteban will sing. If he's handling that much "product" directly he's pretty deep in but not deep enough (or smart enough) to only be "the bank".
February 12, 20188 yr I believe street price for 44 pounds would be roughly three quarters of a million bucks. Crazy s***... what a moron. Thanks for Jose Contreras.

Jenni Rivera died in 2012. Brandy Halladay was his wife. Edited February 12, 20188 yr by wrathofhahn
February 12, 20188 yr I look forward to the rosin bags being tested for their integrity all season long.
