Which is terrible.</i><br /><br />The thing is, Jeffress is out of options, so he can't (easily) be sent down to the minor leagues. Incidentally, smoking weed is only a punishable offence in the minor leagues. MLB players can ingest or inhale basically whatever they want ("PEDs" notwithstanding). <br /><br />So I'm not sure that a lifetime ban is really a concern with Jeffress anymore, if only because his contractual status makes it very difficult for him to end up in a place where he might actually be subject to those ridiculous rules.<br /><br />Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.com
