Rob Manfred and MLB handed down some disciplinary action against a trio of veteran players on Monday. According to Mark Feinsand, Richard Rodriguez, Jose Rondon, and Danny Santana were all issued 80-game suspensions after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances. All three players are currently free agents, and figure to remain that way after the news of the suspension.

Most recently, Rodriguez played for the Atlanta Braves in 2021. The veteran reliever was traded to the Braves from the Pirates at the MLB trade deadline, but didn't end up making the team's World Series roster. In all, Rodriguez featured in 64 games in 2021, logging a 2.94 ERA with 42 strikeouts across 64.1 innings.

Rondon spent 2021 with the St. Louis Cardinals, appearing in 63 games and logging a .263/.322/.413 slash line. He served mostly as a reserve player in 2021, and was not picked up by a team this offseason.

As for Santana, the 31-year-old utilityman featured in 38 games for the Red Sox in 2021, struggling to the tune of a .181 batting average and .597 OPS. In 2019 with the Rangers, Santana enjoyed what appeared to be a breakout season, launching 28 home runs and driving in 81 RBI. He was never able to replicate that production, however, and is now set to face a lengthy suspension after testing positive for PEDs.

This is the first time any of the trio have been suspended, thus they will only be docked 80 games. MLB players will be suspended a full 162 games for a second offense, and receive a lifetime ban after the third time testing positive for PEDs.
