WOW, way to throw away the good life after earning millions. 14 years in a venezualean prison doesn't sound like fun

I guess I shouldn't have drafted him... huh?

jk... I didn't, but I'm sure I could have...

[icarus]

Yes, I think this will detract from his fantasy value.

The 32 year old free agent? LMAO

Is his free agency status at all relevant?

Too funny.

Wow and I would think Venezuela is one of the top 5 countries in the world in which you can buy your way out of justice.

"The first overall in this years Venezualian Penal Bbaseball League...."

I'm sure I could get him as a reliever, but I wonder if he'll get any starts.

If Vaughn can make a comeback out of the penal leagues, look for uggie in '21.
