I’ll bet you $50 that the recent Supreme Court ruling won’t have any effect on MLB Bullets.
- Before this column detours into SCOTUSblog, let’s talk about Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano being suspended for 80 games for testing positive for a diuretic, or a masking agent.
- Tim Brown notes that Cano is the latest to pull the “I didn’t know” excuse, although a suspension for a diuretic requires that MLB demonstrate that the substance was taken to mask a different drug.
- In what seems like a related fact (but according to reports, it isn’t), Cano will have surgery on his hand, which was broken on a pitch by Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy.
