Player: Manny Ramirez
Team: Tampa Bay Rays
Position: DH
Suspended: April 8, 2011

Tampa Bay slugger Manny Ramirez tested positive for a banned substance for the second time and informed Major League Baseball that he would retire rather than face a 100-game suspension. A person familiar with the events that led to the announcement confirmed to The Associated Press that Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the nature of Ramirez' issue with MLB's drug policy was not publicly disclosed.
