The Minnesota Twins 2018 plans were dished a gut punch Sunday morning as they learned of Jorge Polanco‘s testing positive for Stanozolol. Stanozolol is by MLB terms considered a performance-enhancing substance or PED. That has resulted in an 80 game suspension for Polanco who was slated to be the team’s starting shortstop. In his absence, other Twins player will need to step up and one in particular needs to shine to give the Twins their best chance to catch the Cleveland Indians in the American League Central.
If Monday’s comments are any indication, it appears that Eduardo Escobar is slated to take over as the Twins starting shortstop.
