Good news, Braves fans!

Jordan Schafer, the Atlanta Braves‘ prospect suspended for 50 games for human growth hormone use, did not test positive for HGH. Rather, he was suspended after major league baseball probed anecdotal evidence of HGH use by Schafer, two sources familiar with Schafer’s case told ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney.

The article goes on to reveal a new and exciting development.

But Major League Baseball does have the authority within the agreement to pursue specific information about possible violations. Schafer is the first casualty of MLB’s new Department of Investigations, sources familiar with the case told ESPN’s T.J. Quinn.

Baseball has cops now, sports fans. All I want to know is where do I sign up to enter the Academy? I’m a loose cannon who only plays by one set of rules: my own.
