Roster in Turmoil

The game starts in exactly an hour, so here are just the bullets.
  • Tim Beckham has been suspended for 50 games for a second offense using a drug of abuse. Stacy Long has the details.
  • Brandon Guyer moved to DL, but we expected that.
  • A pitcher, Ricky Orta, who has been on the Bulls roster since the beginning of the season, was released. We never saw/met the man.
  • Biscuits infielder Cole Figueroa is on his way, also according to Stacy Long.
  • Finally, Long thinks that someone on the Bulls roster will be going to the Rays as a stand-in for injured Evan Longoria. 
Ouch!

    1. Is this in reference to Beckham? I don't really see a connection there. Dukes has a long history of violent offenses and conflict in both his personal and professional life. Beckham, apparently, got caught smoking pot a couple of times. I don't mean to downplay Beckham's offenses, but I think it is quite the stretch to make the connection to Dukes.
