UKMustangFan Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Jorge CastilloVerified account @jorgeccastillo MLB announces Starling Marte has been suspended 80 games for testing positive for PEDs.
UKMustangFan Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 Jeff PassanVerified account @jeffPassan 6m6 minutes ago Starling Marte, in a statement, says "neglect and lack of knowledge" led to PED suspension. Nandrolone is an injection-only steroid. Uh-huh.
UKMustangFan Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 If the Pirates were to make the playoffs, Marte would also be ineligible for them...
ColonelCrazy Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 If the Pirates were to make the playoffs, Marte would also be ineligible for them... Is that a new(er) rule?
LRCW Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 If the Pirates were to make the playoffs, Marte would also be ineligible for them... Is that a new(er) rule? It must be. I've never heard of that before.
UKMustangFan Posted April 18, 2017 Author Posted April 18, 2017 Is that a new(er) rule? I believe so.
ColonelCrazy Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I believe Melky Cabrera was eligible to return for the postseason after serving his suspension for PEDS several years ago. His team (Giants?) decided not to activate him, but he was eligible for postseason play as I recall.

I believe Melky Cabrera was eligible to return for the postseason after serving his suspension for PEDS several years ago. His team (Giants?) decided not to activate him, but he was eligible for postseason play as I recall. It was part of the agreement from 2014.
LRCW Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 It was part of the agreement from 2014. Thanks. Didn't know that. Have any players missed the playoffs because of it?
AverageJoesGym Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks. Didn't know that. Have any players missed the playoffs because of it? I don't think anyone of any consequence. Marlon Byrd would have if he hadn't retired.
UKMustangFan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Dee Gordon would've last season had Miami made it, right?
