including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law." https://t.co/lBamqVMv1U
There is no further detail on what actions resulted in this suspension. The suspension will be served starting at the beginning of the 2019 season, and if more information becomes available, we will provide updates.
Not sure what Soto was suspended for, but I'm told it was NOT for domestic violence, an arrest , drugs or gambling. https://t.co/0GvAzV65b1
