MLB and MLBPA close to deal for stiffer PED penalties
CBS Sports

Major League Baseball and the players' union are close to a deal that would make penalties for performance-enhancing drug offenses much more harsh, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.

Under the new plan, first and second offenses would result in an 80 and 162-game suspension, respectively. A third offense still brings a lifetime ban. The two sides reportedly hope to have the new deal in place by Sunday, before the start of the season.

Earlier this week, the AP reported MLB and MLBPA were working on a new penalty structure. They say there will also be a 25-man suspension for "inadvertent use."

Under the current penalty structure, first- and second-time offenses bring 50 and 100-game suspensions, respectively. This would not be the first time the MLBPA agreed to open the Collective Bargaining and Joint Drug Agreements mid-term for revisions.

Tickets for games at CBP are gonna be real easy to get this year.

 

[xxpizzo]

^ was reading on crossingbroad that they had ball girls going around town giving away free tickets if they came across anyone rocking phillies gear. Crazy to think man few years ago CBP was on a streak for consecutive sold out games.


We need to rebuild just about our whole team.

 

[phillyzphan]

They were on Twitter a few days ago doing something called #RandomPhandom and if they visited your town and you had anything Phils related they gave you tickets. Its kinda sad. Everyone thinks that they're gonna be bad and need to rebuild except for Amaro.

Ten years, 300M for Miggy.

Terrible.

 

[rook]

Holy **** at that contract

 

[jewbacca]

No player is worth 10 years and 300 million dollars.

The risk is just way too high whether you look at it from a health or production standpoint.

 

[301216baller]

Miggy  HOLY ****!!!

 

[GreenNGold89]

People are actually surprised??

 

[Hahahaha]

Miguel is getting old and he's husky. I wouldn't give him a ten year deal. Body will break down and he'll be the size of Prince Fielder.

The steroid punishment is cool but irrelevant. We saw almost 20 players pass testing last year.

#FreeAlex?




If he never plays MLB again id be happy

 

[xxpizzo]

300mill doe shew must be nice to have baseball money. No athlete should get paid that much I don't care how great you are at your sport that is just insane

 

[301216baller]

People are actually surprised??

Ehh he deserves a payday for what he has done the last few years but 10 years geesh

Imagine what they are going to pay Trout if he keeps up with his play

 

[ognikehead85]

Damn Miggy got a 10 year 300 Million a lot of money but well deserve with the stats he's put up 

 

[GreenNGold89]

I heard the deal can be worth $352 mil?

 

[mr marcus]

Detroit will regret this deal in 3-4 years

Pac Bell or what ever it's called now is just

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

If Cabrera gets 300+, imagine how much the Yankees will sign Trout for
