January 29, 20188 yr Wow, would have never expected this. Maybe he was getting desperate... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/01/central-notes-brewers-indians-salazar-pirates.html
January 29, 20188 yr Not sure when he would have started using, but he was definitely in the class of player you would expect might try PEDs -- a fringe guy with nothing to lose (circa 2016). And he got 48 days in MLB last year, or ~$142,000 salary. I think Turley is now out of options, so being on the 40-man roster of a rebuilding club in Pittsburgh, he would have stood a decent chance of making the opening day roster in some capacity. This probably throws a wrench into that and his future earnings.
