Word is that players WILL be additionally suspended "double-digit games" for refusing to comply with the Biogenesis investigation. This probably makes Braun's 65-game suspension more of a baseline than the standard 50-gamer.
Names in the Yahoo! report include:
- Detroit's Jhonny Peralta
- Texas' Nelson Cruz
- San Diego's Everth Cabrera
- New York Yankee Francisco Cervelli
- Jesus Montero (29 games this year in Seattle, demoted to AAA -- was a Yankee in 2011)
- Cesar Puello (Mets AA Binghamton, and there was some question as to why he was not promoted. Biogenesis was not mentioned in a "Mets Official" answering that, but I'd have to think that's in play here.)
- Fernando Martinez (11 games this year in Houston, traded to the Yankees, now in the AAA Yankees system in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre)
- Free Agent Jordan Norberto (last pitched in Oakland in 2012, pitched 3 very ineffective outings for AAA Sacramento this year)
- and Free Agent Fautino De Los Santos (also last pitched in Oakland in 2012, bounced around several farm systems' AAA situations this year)
