Adam Eaton is one of the best prospects in baseball and the 23-year-old Diamondbacks center fielder had an amusing tweet about the Super Bowl media’s interaction with Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis:

That’s a much funnier, more sarcastic version of what I asked yesterday, so of course I enjoyed it.

Also: ProFootballTalk notes that Lewis blamed the devil when asked about the allegations Eaton mentioned. Seriously. If only Alex Rodriguez had thought of that.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirms a report from journalist Américo Celado that White Sox catcher Welington Castillo will be suspended 80 games for violating baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement. Castillo was believed to have used a steroid, but according to Rosenthal, the substance was not a steroid. More details should come on Thursday.

Castillo, 31, entered Wednesday’s action batting .270/.314/.477 with six home runs and 15 RBI in 118 plate appearances. He has gotten the bulk of the work behind the plate, backed up by Omar Narváez.

Castillo’s absence will likely prompt the White Sox to call up Kevan Smith from Triple-A Charlotte. Smith battled an ankle injury in March and April, so he got a late start to the season. In 102 PA at Triple-A, he has hit .283/.343/.457.
