One of the biggest player representation agencies in baseball has been named in a lawsuit alleging involvement with performance-enhancing drugs. According to
FanRagSports.com's
Jon Heyman, the suit alleges that the ACES agency was not only
aware of PED use among players they represented,
but directed some of them to suppliers of PEDs. The two most notable ACES clients that have been connected to alleged PED use are
Melky Cabrera and
Nelson Cruz. Other prominent players that are
also represented by ACES include
Dustin Pedroia and
Jon Lester.
Neither of these players have ever been associated in any way with PED use. However, given this high-profile, $2+ million suit now before the New York State Supreme Court, it will be interesting to see if Pedroia and Lester cut their ties with the agency.
