[QUOTE="The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog, post: 2831112, member: 3535"] At least [I]someone [/I]from Houston got suspended. [URL]https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/02/francis-martes-suspended-full-season-for-ped.html[/URL] Astros righty [B][URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/martefr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-']Francis Martes[/URL][/B] has been suspended for 162 games after testing positive for the banned performance enhancing drug baldenone. It was his second such test; he had previously served an 80-game suspension during the 2019 season. Martes was once considered a high-grade prospect and still owns a 40-man roster spot. He was working back from Tommy John surgery, which would’ve cost him all of last year even were it not for the suspension. It has now been quite some time since Martes enjoyed success on the field. He reached the majors in 2017 but didn’t stick after throwing 54 1/3 innings of 5.80 ERA ball with 11.4 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9. Martes has only made it through 25 minor-league frames over the past two campaigns. Martes’s future is now very much in doubt. At the same time, he only reached his 24th birthday in November. He’ll obviously need both to reevaluate his decisionmaking process and rediscovery his form on the mound if he’s to carve out a big league career. [/QUOTE]
