June 4, 201312 yr On phone so someone else can add details. ESpNs outside the lines is reporting that MLB intends to suspend Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez, amongst others, over their connections to Biogenesis Phamaceuticals.

June 4, 201312 yr Time to go over Richie Weeks...we can stick him in CF or LF for the rest of the season and mix him in at 2B and DH.
June 4, 201312 yr Good, especially Braun. The way he got out of his suspension last time was complete BS.
June 5, 201312 yr Wonder if Gio Gonzalez got pinched. edit: TJ Quinn says he's unlikely to be suspended. Edited June 5, 201312 yr by flavum
June 5, 201312 yr It's pretty funny that Braun got off on a technicality and went right back to the juice. He really must think he is bulletproof Have to wonder if this is the end of the road for ARod. A 100 game suspension would make him almost 39 when he came back, no? I don't imagine his suspension would run concurrent with his time on the DL
June 5, 201312 yr YANKEES have to be VERY CLOSELY looking at ways out of that contract...surely, it will be settled in a courtroom. At the very least, not paying him for those days under suspension. Edited June 5, 201312 yr by caulfield12

I don't imagine his suspension would run concurrent with his time on the DL I bet they would let A-Rods DL time count. They let Manny Ramirez's "retirement" time count even though it technically shouldn't have.

June 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:21 PM) Players always lose their pay when they're suspended. But the teams still have to pay it. IIRC it goes to some charity.
June 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) Is that the actual list? Those are the names listed in the ESPN article, here is the link.

June 5, 201312 yr This sets up some VERY interesting possibilities. Reed or Ramirez to the Tigers.... Rios to the Rangers... Not saying either one would happen. I don't know Detroit's system so well after the top guys, one would assume Ramon Santiago would be playing there in the short-term until they found a better solution.
June 5, 201312 yr While I think Braun getting off on a technicality is pretty weak last time around, I dont know if I agree with MLB deciding to ignore write the rules as they go and skip over the 50 game suspension and go straight to the 100 game suspension.
June 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 06:31 PM) Well that explains how Peralta had that turnaround year last year. And hitting .338 as of this moment. Made a huge difference in the Tigers winning the division last year, as Avila's bat went south.
June 5, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 06:39 PM) Screw the Tigers, I'm not trading them s***. Not saying it WILL happen...but this is Hahn (theoretically), not KW. If KW was still calling the shots, no way in hell he would concede anything to the Tigers like the Twins did by trading Delmon Young to them.
