2 reports, both stating it was the Giants who voided his contract:
"Giants vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said that Jones failed a physical examination, prompting the club to ask for the deal to be scrapped. "
However, ESPN Magazine reports the Giants voided his contract because he failed a team administered drug test.

I read that he failed a drug test that the Giants gave him.

Jorge Arangure is reporting that he failed a drug test. Do you know if this is true and, if so, if it was for a PED or a recreational drug?

iam sure there is more to come? though a strain seems a funny reason to nix a contract, though anything is possible in the United States……………..

They voided it because Villalona threatened them at gun point…

MLB Probably voided it so the Red Sox or Yankees or even Mets could get another chance at signing him.

I cannot yet confirm with absolute certainty the reason for the contract getting voided. When I have reliable information, I will pass it along.

Talk about an incomplete story. Why did MLB void the contract?
