MLB @MLB

BREAKING: Giants OF Melky Cabrera suspended 50 games without pay after testing positive for Testosterone, a performance-enhancing substance.

Cabrera takes responsibility in statement. "My positive test was the result of my use of a substance that I should not have used."


so that explains his season...
