Summary
The 14-year-old son of former Yankees player Brett Gardner, Miller, died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in Costa Rica on March 21. Authorities detected high levels of the toxic gas in the family's hotel room, initially ruling asphyxiation. Investigations are ongoing, with results pending. In other MLB news, Atlanta Braves' Jurickson Profar received an 80-game suspension after a positive test, costing him over $5.8 million. Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics faced a transition period in Sacramento, adapting to their new venue after leaving Oakland, suffering a significant loss against the Cubs in their home opener.
Perspectives
Jurickson Profar has been suspended for 80 games without pay for testing positive for the banned substance chorionic gonadotrophin, which is often used as a masking agent in performance-enhancing drug use.
Profar expressed his devastation over the suspension, maintaining he would never knowingly cheat and emphasizing his commitment to the game as he accepts full responsibility for the situation.
The suspension is significant for the Braves organization as Profar was signed to a three-year, $42 million deal and was expected to be a key player after a breakout performance last season.
