“They found a trace amount of metabolite in my urine stream”, Colabello said.

“I told him that I was very frustrated and hurt and that I didn’t like him at that very moment”. I don’t know where it came from. A two-year suspension? Should a team have the opportunity to void or modify a guaranteed contract if a player is suspended? “It’s all I can do”. The union’s core function-protecting the players’ earnings against a management looking for any excuse to curb them-becomes an indulgent “philosophical” frippery abetting theft. He stepped on the bag and threw to second baseman Yadiel Rivera for the second out. That’s one of the many differences between him and the union. “Hopefully we can continue to do that”. “I think in football it happens once a week and no one really hears about it, but things happen”.

“The problem is the quality of the stuff guys are taking is better than the quality of our tests”. But it is exclusively on us, as individuals, to make sure we’re paranoid about it enough to know we’re not taking something we had no idea (what it is). “Its scary world in that sense. “You shouldn’t be allowed to effect [sic] games while appealing”. That latter point is particularly cogent in light of recent allegations lobbed at Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, who, it should be noted, threw just as hard when he was struggling with the Orioles as he does now that he is dominating for Chicago, and whose journey from busted prospect to Cy Young award victor was outlined beautifully by our own Tom Verducci last month.

Colabello said he was surprised to learn he tested positive for an anabolic steroid. “That said, I don’t like or condone what he did”. Though he failed to nail down the Marlins” second base job in the two seasons prior to Gordon’s arrival, Dietrich has hit.263/.352/.471 with 11 home runs in 321 plate appearances between 2015 and “16.
