MLB: Robinson Cano’s suspension officially over and back on Mets roster

Even before the 2021 season of MLBIt was already looking pretty chaotic for the New York Mets, since on November 18, 2020 the veteran Second baseman Robinson Canó was suspended for 162 games after testing positive for Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid and therefore a prohibited substance, missing all last season as it was the second time that it tested positive, complicating season planning for the Mets and resulting in failure.

Now, after the completion of the World Series and almost a year since it was suspended, according to information from Joel Sherman of The New York Post, Robinson Canó has already served his sentence and has been reinstated from the restricted list and is now on the active roster of the New York Mets, and therefore, has returned to the roster.

With this, Robinson Canó has two years left on his contract and the Mets owe him $ 40.5 million from his 10-year, $ 204 million contract he signed with the Seattle Mariners in 2014.

According to Luis Fuentes of the LIDOM Eastern Stars press staff, Robinson Canó will make his winter ball debut next Wednesday, November 10 against the Tigres de Licey.

I started as a rookie on Al Bat in early 2018 and I am going into my third season covering Major League Baseball as a web reporter. I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy. Graduated in journalism from the University of Guadalajara, I graduated in 2017. Born in the shrimp capital of the world, Escuinapa, Sinaloa. I lived in Australia for a while; i survived giant spiders, tasmanian devils and fought a kangaroo and didn’t die trying.
