Colabello Has Suspension Overturned By Court, Promptly Gets Traded

Chris Colabello had been slated to spend the first 80 games of the season pondering what he put in his body that was against MLB's substance abuse policy, but today, a US district court overruled his suspension citing that the particular strain of drug he tested positive for was not banned by baseball.

Colabello was relieved to find out he was able to play again, but shocked to learn that shortly after the court case was dismissed, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants.

Giants Receive:
1B Chris Colabello

Blue Jays Receive:
SP Kyle Crick

Crick, adds a young arm to a minor league system desperately in need of prospects. Colabello was deemed expendable because of his character choices and the presence of Justin Smoak on the roster.

GM Kris Jardine - "We didn't feel like Chris was needed here anymore, and based on what's happened, we felt he needed a fresh start. Kyle will go to AAA Buffalo and join our growing core of minor league arms"
