Journeyman starting pitcher Esteban Loaiza was arrested Friday in San Diego with over 20 kilograms of cocaine and/or heroin, according to police documents. That translates to over 44 pounds of heavy drugs.
Loaiza is being held in South Bay Detention Facility on $200,000 bail. His next court hearing is Wednesday. According to online records, Loaiza was arrested at 6 p.m. Pacific time Friday, and also is facing felony charges of possessing and transporting a controlled substance with intent to sell.

Esteban Loaiza went 126-114 in parts of 14 seasons with eight different teams in the majors. 

As recently as a few weeks ago, Loaiza was seen at Sox Fest in Chicago greeting fans and signing autographs.
