In a surprising development, the Mets and catcher Yorvit Torrealba have had their three-year/$14.4MM contract fall apart for undisclosed reasons. What I immediately thought was Yorvit is one of the eleven free agents being mentioned in the George Mitchell Report. Then I read this in Sunday's Daily News:
A new addition to the Rockies in '06, he showed up at spring training that year having gone through an extensive winter weightlifting program in Venezuela with a personal trainer. That was intended to give him the strength to be a first-string catcher for the first time in his career.
This seems to fit a pattern of career-extending steroid use, doesn't it? Until more information becomes available, anything goes. Thank you, MLB.
