Former Yankees pitcher Esteban Loaiza pleaded guilty to federal drug charges on Friday, in deal that’ll probably land him behind bars for 30 years.
The 46-year-old, who earned about $43 million in career MLB wages, admitted in a San Diego courtroom that he was busted earlier this year with 44 pounds of cocaine with the intent to distribute.
Loaiza faces between 10 years to life in prison. Lawyers on both sides have agreed to ask the judge for a 30-year sentence, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
He’s scheduled to be sentenced on Nov.
