Taylor Teagarden Suspended 80 Games: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Major League Baseball reportedly suspended veteran catcher Taylor Teagarden for 80 games Friday.

T.J. Quinn of ESPN passed along the news and noted Teagarden was the only athlete caught on tape in Al Jazeera's documentary on performance-enhancing drugs in December.

Teagarden, 32, is a free agent. He appeared in eight games for the Chicago Cubs last season, picking up three hits in 15 at-bats. He's also spent time with the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets during his career.

In January, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com noted the catcher appeared on an undercover video in the Al Jazeera report discussing PED use and being worried about a drug test.
