Via B/R:
In the divorce, Varrasso said that Loaiza, taking from community funds without her consent, spent, among other things, $64,732.32 on a Lexus for Ashley; made approximate down payments of $30,000 on cars for his sister, mother and brother; and paid $78,436.56 to Ashley’s mother, primarily for child care, but also made an additional $6,548.68 in payments to her before the child’s birth. There allegedly was another $82,550 in payments made to his mother, $118,745.38 in gifts or loans to other members of his family and approximately $145,000 spent on hotels and airfare for trips Loaiza did not go on, including trips involving Esposito and her family.
Oakland radio broadcaster Vince Cotroneo, who arrived in Oakland at the same time as Loaiza in 2006, describes the pitcher as a harmless “knucklehead.”
“He wasn’t a bad guy. He was always helpful for what we needed to do. He was a little quirky, but you can say that with a lot of people.
“I went to Oakland and so did he in ’06. This was the Lamborghini-driving, Maserati-driving, DUI Loaiza that we got. The paint was starting to dry. You were starting to capture the full portrait of the guy. When he got to Oakland, it got stranger.”
More money, more problems.
