That sure looks like Reds pitching prospect Ian Kahaloa snorting a line of coke on SnapChat.
The Reds have released this statement to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
“We’re obviously really concerned,” Graupe said. “We’re working to get Ian the help and assistance that we believe he needs to get his long-term future to a more stable place. We’re kind of putting the baseball on the backburner.”
Kahaloa was Cincinnati’s fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft out of a Hawaii high school. Entering this season, he was ranked as the Reds’ No. 26 prospect by Baseball America. Last year, he had a sub-3.00 ERA in 10 starts with the rookie-level Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League.
And now this guy has been suspended for 50 games after his second failed drug test.
Someone with long fingernails has been posting Kahaloa drug videos on Twitter since mid-March.
Here’s Ian supposedly going wake n bake…no biggie if MLB would get rid of its pot rules
