(NL) Winnipeg Closer Fails Drug Test

Darwin Soto(Northern League) The Winnipeg Sun (canoe.ca) is reporting that newly signed Winnipeg Goldeyes closer Darwin Soto (left) was among the 38 minor league players named earlier this week as having failed league drug testing. Soto was released by the Seattle Mariners before the list was made public and the news was a surprise to both the Goldeyes and manager Hal Lanier who literally said, "Really?" in the Sun interview. The team was told by Seattle Soto was cut because they didn't have room for the 23 year old righty. Soto's agent was just as forthcoming with the information. Which is to say everyone managed to leave the Goldeyes in the dark.

This puts Lanier and the league in a precedent setting situation. Lanier is on record as saying he would cut any steriod user from the team. But if the Goldeyes do leave Soto on their opening day roster, are they under any obligation to honor MiLB's 15 day suspension?

I'll keep an eye on this developing situation.
