The Dominican attorney general implicated a former Major League Baseball all-star and a journeyman pitcher on Wednesday in a drug trafficking and ring that authorities say ran narcotics from South America into the United States and Europe.
Octavio Dotel, 45, who pitched for 13 teams in his career and won a World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, is in custody, officials say; former second baseman Luis Castillo remains at home in Plantation, Florida,"bewildered" by the allegations against him, his lawyer says. It is not clear whether Dotel, who was arrested in the Dominican Republic on Monday, has retained an attorney.
