Justin Verlander takes apparent shot at Robinson Cano over suspension

There have been many reactions to Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano being suspended 80 games for violating MLB’s drug policy.

Those reactions have been all over the spectrum, as many want to believe Cano’s explanation (that he didn’t take PEDs and unknowingly took a banned diuretic), while others are much more skeptical about his motives.

It’s safe to say that Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander, an old rival of Cano’s, can be counted among the latter. When the news broke about Cano’s suspension, Verlander, who doesn’t tweet all that often, took an apparent shot at Cano on Twitter.

Based on the fact that Cano’s explanation doesn’t really add up when you put all the pieces together, it seems Verlander was on the mark.
