May 9, 2006 - International League (IL1)
Durham Bulls News Release
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays fully support the decision of International League President Randy Mobley to suspend Delmon Young for 50 games. We thank Randy for his thoroughness and professionalism during the inquiry.
As stated before, we do not tolerate this type of conduct from anyone in the Devil Rays organization.
During this investigation, the Rays worked closely with the Delmon and the International League on the community service component of Delmon's suspension. The Devil Rays believe this is an integral part of Delmon's suspension. We will work with Delmon to facilitate his community service in both St. Petersburg, FL and Durham, NC.
We expect Delmon will resume his training at our minor league complex later this week.
The Devil Rays organization will continue to provide all necessary support and assistance to Delmon during his suspension.
