Matthew Brian Bush (born February 8, 1986) is a former professional baseball player who was drafted by the San Diego Padres with the first overall draft pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft. He last played minor league baseball in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.Due to numerous personal and legal problems, Bush has only played as high as Class AA, two steps below the major league level. He was traded by the Padres to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2009, but was released by the Blue Jays without ever playing. He then played for the Rays organization before being released in 2012 after a drunk driving incident. He pleaded no contest to charges related to that incident in December 2012, and was sentenced to 51 months in state prison.In May 2013, Baseball America's Matt Eddy said Bush "may be the biggest bust at any position in draft history".
