disappointing news

A disappointing season turned even more so today for former Terry High star Deshun Dixon. The 20-year-old outfielder was suspended 50 games, effectively ending his season, for a second violation under Major League Baseball’s drug policy. The announcement from the commissioner’s office did not specify the banned substance but called it a “drug of abuse.” Dixon was a 10th-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010 and was batting .193 at short-season Class A Hudson Valley this season. The suspension will carry over to 2013.
