Seattle has called up Gordon Beckham to take Cano's roster spot.

Felix pitched like a donkey’s arse yesterday. Yes he got the win but he definitely tried to let the Tigers back in it. Actually he hasn’t been very good this season. His era is way up. Disappointing that when the team is playing relatively well, he stinks.


Felix has been done for two yrs now. He is finished. I love him but he is done.
Man ..Sucks to face reality but time is unbeatable

Fully agree but he is starting to be a sore spot. 5.45+ era. I mean he fits in this yr lol.

Nice win last night.

Tough game today as we will travel two times in as many days. Very favorable home stand against two weaker teams. I'm a little worried about our lineup without Cano, but we still have plenty of offense.

Yeah Felix is probably our worst pitcher in the rotation. I still can't believe they brought back the Kings Court. If he continues to struggle, will the M's consider yanking him or cutting ties? I doubt the Mariners have the guts to do it. The Seahawks would just cut him like they did with Sherman, but this is the Mariners we are talking about.

.. AND Cano hits just keep coming.. this will really really suck if true.

BREAKING NEWS: According to off the record sources and non-official reports, dominican All-Star Robinson Cano will be suspended for Steroid Use, could be announced today.#ZDeportes @z101digital @ZDeportes

Can he technically start his suspension during his injury? Because he is likely going to miss a decent chunk of those games anyways. Either way this sucks and doesn't shock me. Curious to see what he has to say.

It's not steroids. His sample tested positive for Furosemide, which is a diuretic.

Why would he be ineligible for the postseason?

Pretty crap news on Cano, that's for sure.

At least he's injured so that will eat about half the suspension? :229031_shrug:

I think it was part of the 2014 CBA, it's so suspended players can't come back and either have their games count during the post season, or affect the post season.

With this new development, I think there's a much greater chance that Dee goes to 2nd.

Disappointing news to be sure. :34853_doh:

Not going to jump on the "Dee back to 2d" train just yet. We don't have someone with his speed to replace him in center. Beckham is a vet we just called up. I say let him work it out there for a few games. Cano might be done for good after this and I'm not sure how I feel about that. This season is pretty much done for him. Long term, he'd be in the pee test line the rest of his life anyway.

We know that Haniger can do well at the top of the order, so minimal disruption to the batting order from this.

We've got Gordon until 2021, not sure if Servais and the M's want to disrupt his development at CF with a temporary move back to 2B, even if it will be for most of this season now. Especially considering how well he's playing in CF.

Cano will be back later in the year, no reason to disrupt two positions temporarily.
