February 12, 20188 yr QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 12:33 PM) Jenni Rivera died in 2012. Brandy Halladay was his wife. It wasn't very clear, but he was referring to Loaiza's ex wife, not Halladay's. There was no fake news there.
February 12, 20188 yr https://sports.yahoo.com/ex-mlb-star-pitche...-151448624.html According to TMZ, authorities found what they allege is “sophisticated aftermarket compartment used to conceal contraband” in Loaiza’s car during a minor traffic stop. From there, they got a warrant to search Loaiza’s house and found the alleged cocaine. The San Diego Union-Tribune, meanwhile, is reporting that Loaiza was spotted by the border crime suppression team driving away from a house it believed was part of a smuggling operation.

Oh that makes more sense. Just wanted to be clear because Halladay was by all accounts a family man and was only married once from 1998 till his death.

There's no way he has the fortitude to do the time. He's going to sing. Sounds like he was part of a pretty big operation and you know they want they guys he bought from.

He was battling some demons as well.

He'd be killed in a matter of days I'd bet if he was in that deep with a cartel. Sometimes these guys don't have a lot of choice...it's not like they hit up a cartel member and say, "Hey...got any openings...I'd like to fill out an application...". Sometimes they're forced to. Threats against family members...loved ones...etc... Who knows how/why he got sucked in...

February 13, 20188 yr He had a really good reputation in the minor leagues, too...all the fans in Augusta really liked the guy and adopted him as one of their own, as much as a Latin American player can be adopted in the Deep South.
February 13, 20188 yr Note that nobody has confirmed the amount of drugs or even which substance yet. The charge means *at least* 20 kilos, but it could plausibly be much more. We also don't know what substance is per the reports as the concern about Fentanyl exposure led cops to not test it themselves but instead wait on a lab. His (ex-)wife's death is interesting in that the exact cause of the plane crash was never determined because the plane crashed at such a high speed there was basically no physical evidence. The plane was thought to be in tough shape, though, and the pilot was 78 years old. On the other hand, the company that owned the plane (and was the manager of the now-deceased wife) had multiple planes seized by the DEA for unspecified reasons around that same time.
February 13, 20188 yr I'd imagine this is something he's been involved in for years. You don't just start with 20+ kilo's.
February 14, 20188 yr QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Feb 12, 2018 -> 11:11 AM) 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. I had a buddy that used to do blow and, for a while, his hookup was a member of the Braves bullpen. I couldn't even tell you the name if you asked, he wasn't a well known player, but that always tripped me out that a guy playing in MLB would be stupid enough to not only do cocaine but also sell it. I'm with you...I think the stuff is probably pretty prevalent in the league among some of the younger, single guys.

May 31, 20205 yr The Halliday E60 doc was just on and he had about five different meds going on. Under strict clinical supervision of course.
