T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish of ESPN have dropped a massive story on the MLB world with their recent report for ‘Outside The Lines’ which says that Bud Selig is gearing up to suspend Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and as many as up to 20 other MLB players for their roles for ‘committing multiple offenses by receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch and by lying about it.’
According to the article:
Commissioner Bud Selig’s office is expected to suspend Braun and Rodriguez, along with as many as 20 players sometime after next week’s All-Star break, several sources told “Outside the Lines.” As OTL reported, MLB started building cases against the players last month after Bosch agreed to cooperate with investigators.
The question is the length of the suspensions.
Sources said the commissioner’s office was considering 100-game bans for Braun and Rodriguez, the punishment for a second offense, even though neither player was previously suspended for violating MLB’s drug policy.
The argument, one source said, would be that they — and possibly other players — committed multiple offenses by receiving performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch and by lying about it.
Apparently the witching hour is coming up quite soon.
