Baseball players say they want to clean up the game

Good to see the players/union wanting to see the game cleaned up, and with harsh penalties.

Can we have a cleanup on aisle Pujols? Oh and it looks like there's a ton of spoiled Ham in the non-produce aisle.

Looks like tdawg is in a bad mood.

This is what I think should be the penalty for an offender.  

 

Revoke of any current contract, and even if negative service time.  First offense, reduction of MLB service time to 3.00 years of service, and if under that service time subtraction of 1 year of service time.  Second offense, reduction of MLB service time to 6.00 years of service, and if under that service time, subtraction of 3 years of service time.  Third offense, Pete Rose.  

 

For anyone that tests positive (and of course loses the appeal.  To avoid any legit tainted supplements), suspension until WADA clears them that they are clean.  And for those that get suspended, monitoring by WADA for second and third offenses.  Which are much stricter than what MLB has in place now.

I agree with gotbeer. I would start with revoking the remainder of the contract. Or at the very least give the team X amount of days after the positive test to revoke the contract.
