Tigers manager Jim Leyland finally commented on shortstop Jhonny Peralta's 50-game suspension. And in true Leyland fashion, his remarks were to the point. "I will say we will miss Jhonny Peralta and that's the end of it," Leyland said before Detroit's game against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. "I'm not going to discuss it any further. I do owe you that comment, I think." Shortly after Peralta was banned 50 games by Major League Baseball for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal on Monday, Leyland told reporters to leave his office after he was asked to comment on Peralta's suspension. General manager Dave Dombrowski had told media members he would be the team's lone spokesman on the matter. Leyland said he wasn't comfortable addressing Peralta's complex situation. The two-time All-Star was one of 13 players disciplined in baseball's most sweeping punishment in nearly a century. "I was not going to make comments on stuff," a relaxed Leyland said, sitting at his desk holding a bat before batting practice. "You're talking about legal issues and everything else. That's silly for somebody like me to be making comments about that. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to get trapped into that."
