A-Rod suspended for the next 162 games

[23Barrettcity]

he wouldn't accept less than $61 mil anyway, so the Yankees would just waive him, and then A-Rod gets blackballed.

I actually think the suspension is absurd given all the shadiness goin down, but in the interim, this is GREAT for the Yankees. They can go after Tanaka and get a stop gap for 3B that can get on base, and for them, unless Tanaka gets CC money, they'll be under $189.

I wanna feel bad for A-Rod, I really do, but he can't get out of his own way. Nevermind whether he's guilty or not, his name shouldn't even be around Biogenesis or linked to it. He's learning the hard way that there is not a single drug that can replace Kate Hudson when it comes to clutch hitting.

If they waive him doesn't he still get paid ?
I want tanaka too if they can afford him due to this ... Now we know arod going to be a distraction Selig just trying to look good on the way out . And imagine arod come back next year he'll be a distraction

Contracts are guaranteed in MLB.
If they waive him, he gets the money.

Because he's being suspended though, he loses the 25 million dollar salary for 2014, and MAYBE a bonus of a few million that he's due next week or so. Though I'm not sure about the bonus.

What people have to understand (if you think there's a conspiracy between NY and MLB) is that not only does this save the Yankees the 25 million dollars of Alex's salary.
It also saves them something like 50 million in luxury taxes if they are under the 189 million dollar payroll threshold.

I'm not calling conspiracy at anything.
But 75 million dollars is one hell of an incentive to do anything.

I just want to see the evidence. Is that gonna get released?

Will they release their evidence now?

Shoot dope, get HOF numbers, get a record breaking contract, admit to doping, get blackballed, blame the commissioner, get suspended and act like a victim of a witch hunt brehs.





Where IS the evidence though?

What evidence?
