Gary Sheffield is hardly the player he used to be. He is 39 and in spring training he was hitting under .200 On the flip side he did hit 5 homeruns this spring and the Tigers arepaying him $14 million a year.
That’s $14 million guaranteed.
You don’t drop a player earning that much unless you know something.
So what do the Tigers know?
Well, what do we know about Sheffield. We know he admitted to using the steroid laden “Cream” from Barry Bonds’ trainer in 2001. Sheffield has stated that he stopped using it when he found out what was in it and never went back to the stuff.
What do the Tigers know?
I have nothing to base this on other than pure speculation, but maybe Sheffield’ name is on that 2003 list of players who tested positive for steroids. If it is, that’s 2 years AFTER he said he had stopped taking it.
