The Cleveland Indians just signed first baseman Chris Colabello to a minor league deal.
Colabello is coming to the Indians after posting a slash line of .069/.156/.225 in the 10 games he played in 2016 before he was suspended for PED use. Being ineligible for the postseason, he stayed on the Jays’ Triple-A Buffalo roster for the remainder of the year, batting only .180/.248/.288 in his 153 plate appearances.
In late April while playing with the Blue Jays, Colabello was suspended for 80 games after testing positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol, a banned substance for MLB players.
