There is a lot of freaking out right now behind Ryan Braun’s season ending suspension.

From what I’ve gathered, our own Jhonny Peralta was unfairly grouped in.

Peralta is the fifth client of the ACES agency of Seth and Sam Levinson and with an association with Juan Nunez, a former runner for the agency, to be connected to clinic records.
Peralta does not appear to be directly tied to PEDs in the records, as was also the case with Montero. The Levinsons referred comment to an attorney for Peralta, Barry Boss, who released this statement on behalf of Peralta: “I have never used performance enhancing drugs. Period. Anybody who says otherwise is lying.”

Peralta’s name was reportedly found last winter in the records of Tony Bosch, the director of the now defunct Biogenesis clinic, but was reportedly not directly linked to performance-enhancing drugs in those records.

Furthermore, Braun likely accepted the deal due to his own injury this season and Milwaukee’s lack of playoff potential. Everyone else has the option of an appeal:

According to a Sports Illustrated report last winter, Peralta’s name was found in the records of Biogenesis director Tony Bosch but was not specifically tied in those records to PEDs.

A provision in baseball’s drug agreement says discipline can be announced before a hearing if the penalty results from an allegation that became public other than through MLB or a team. Miami New Times published allegations in January, but the union could argue that a penalty results from evidence baseball has gathered rather than the newspaper account.

After MLB and the union decide how to process grievances, hearings will be scheduled before Horowitz — but not before September and possibly later.

Hopefully, he was grouped in with these snarfs just because of his agency.
