Jon Weber, a former Tampa Bay minor leaguer who was with Triple-A Toledo when he retired this month, drew a 100-game suspension after testing positive for a drug of abuse, according to the Major League Baseball release.
The suspension becomes effective if/when he returns to a major league organization. It was Weber's third positive test, according to the release.
The 32-year-old started the year with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees' organization, was released and signed with the Detroit Tigers, who sent him to Toledo. He was hitting a combined .257 in 68 games.
Weber played for the Durham Bulls from 2007-09. He had a .302 average and 14 home runs last season to help the Bulls win the International League championship.
100 game suspension for your third time??? It ought to be "three strikes and you're out"!!!
