Ouch, there goes some of the prospects I was hoping the White Sox would get at the deadline!!!! That said, if I were an Oriole Fan, I would be getting really nervous. First Cano, now Wellington and both hang with Machado??? Wonder if they all have the same doctor???

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that Welington Castillo will receive an 80 game suspension for violating baseball's join drug agreement.
Rosenthal reports that Castillo will be suspended for using a performance enhancing drug, but not a steroid. The story was originally reported by Hector Gomez, the same reporter who originally reported Robinson Cano's 80 game suspension. Castillo was hitting .270/.314/.477 with six homers and 15 RBI over 32 games. He'll be eligible to return in late August, but will not be eligible for the postseason if the White Sox are able to make the playoffs, which is unlikely.
