Orelvis Martinez's promising Major League debut with the Toronto Blue Jays quickly turned into a nightmare after he received an 80-game suspension for violating MLB's drug policy. The 22-year-old was touted as the best power hitter in the Blue Jays' system and was called up to replace the injured Bo Bichette. However, just days after his debut, he tested positive for clomiphene, a substance that boosts testosterone levels, leading to his banishment back to the development complex in Dunedin.

Martinez claims the drug was prescribed for infertility treatment, a narrative met with skepticism given his age. While he expresses regret and insists he has worked on his mental approach during his suspension, the long layoff has hindered his development. With new competition rising in the Jays' system, he faces an uphill battle to reclaim his spot as a viable option at third base.
