MLB continues to lay down the law as a total of 12 players face a 50-game suspensions for biogenesis ties.
Senior sports writer, Ken Rosenthal tweeted the names of the dozen MLB players that are facing a 50-game suspension for violating the league’s drug use policy.
Focus is revolving around Alex Rodriguez’s punishment which has yet to be determined or at least to the degree of the suspension ensuing.
Below are Rosenthal’s tweets indicating the players and their teams that are facing the 50-game suspension.
A-Rod destined to serve suspension of some sort – AFTER his appeal is heard. Selig would have overreached if he invoked greater powers.
