No Crying In Baseball

Robinson Cano gets an 80-game suspension for use of a PED masking agent. He says it was accidental but was it, really?

Chuck Nazty signs for 6 more years at $108-$116 million (the oldest player to get over $100 mil at 32). Could it be the Altuve effect? And what are the implications for possibly next year’s free agents like Machado and Harper, both 25? Turns out the Buster Posey rule against blocking home plate only applies to catchers. Who knew?
