 DETROIT (AP) - Tigers infielder Neifi Perez became the first player penalized for testing positive for a stimulant under Major League Baseball's drug program Friday.
"I say to my fans that I am not stupid," Perez told the Dominican radio program Impacto Deportivo in his homeland. "I know the difference between good and bad and there are things that are going to be known going forward, but my lawyer has advised me not to talk for now."
Tigers teammates didn't seem to have a lot of sympathy for the seldom-used player, whose 25-game suspension will cost him about $400,000 of his $2.5 million salary.
