FOX Sports reports 12 accepted suspensions...

And now we get some of the names...

FOXSports.com reports these players have accepted Biogenesis suspensions.  There is still no official word from Major League Baseball, and everyone's holding their breath on Alex Rodriguez, who will (if not suspended -- though reports indicate the Yankees have been notified he will be today!) probably play tonight.
  • Jhonny Peralta of the Tigers
  • Nelson Cruz of the Rangers
  • Everth Cabrera of the Padres
  • Francisco Cervelli of the Yankees
  • Jesus Montero, in the Seattle farm system
  • Cesar Puello, in the Mets farm system
  • Fernando Martinez, in the Yankees farm system
  • Jordan Norberto, now a free-agent
  • Fauntino De Los Santos, now a free-agent
If that list sounds familiar, those were nine players that Yahoo! reported last week were going to accept suspensions.

The FOX Sports report lists three further players accepting Biogenesis suspensions:
  • Antonio Bastardo of the Phillies
  • Jordany Valdespin of the Mets
  • and Sergio Escalona, in the Astros farm system
As of 10:35 AM PDT, no word on A-Roid.

All of these suspensions appear to be 50 games. This is done at almost the precise point that all teams would have about 50 games left in their regular seasons.
