This should have little bearing on the 2018 season for the Milwaukee Brewers. There is no talk of a suspension so this shouldn’t cause him to miss any time. However, this is about more than baseball for Jeremy Jeffress. Substance abuse problems dogged him early in his career and is something Jeffress will battle for the rest of his life.
Jeffress was suspended 100 games in 2009, already his third suspension in his young career, but it almost cost him so much more. He has attacked his demons head-on, but one false step could bring the end of it all.
