A-Rod Suing MLB

[CaliforniaRaisin]

@NYTSports: Alex Rodriguez sued @MLB late Thursday, accusing it of buying the cooperation of Anthony Bosch. Details coming.

 

@craigcalcaterra: WOW: Intro to A-Rod suit accuses Selig of tacitly approving of PEDs and trying to paint himself as "savior" of MLB. This is gonna be good

 

@craigcalcaterra: Section B of the factual background "The Disastrous Tenure of Commissioner Selig." -- there is not enough popcorn in the world.

I'm pulling for A-Rod.

I'm pulling for A-Rod.

 

I'm not. Neither side is "right" here. MLB was overly aggressive and A-Rod is a cheating scumbag.

[UMFan83]

Not a bad play by ARod. He has nothing to lose.

I'm not disagreeing one bit that A-Rod is a scumbag, he is. But MLB trying to run him out and make an example out of him, with helping the Yankees out of their gigantic contract, at the same time? A-Rod is the lesser of two evils to me.

Yeah, the biggest issue I have with the whole thing is the seeming collusion between the commissioner's office and the Yankees in trying to make his contract null and void.

I guess.

 

It sucks that I have to root for A-Rod here, but like you said... I don't want the Yankees to get out from under that contract. I want them to have to pay every last cent of the stupid thing.

[Sammys Boombox]

I vote for the resolution where they all go down in flames.

[illiniguy]

I can't wait to hear what ARod has to say about Selig allowing certain PEDs to be used. Uncover the fraud.

Why does one have to pull for arod here? Can't we just sit back and enjoy mlb and selig being exposed as the scumbags they are?

 

It's not like a "win" is going to do much for arod. He's got all the money he needs. Even if he plays again, his rep is cemented. He's just a guy in this. He won't be a hero if he's successful in the suit.

[davell]

It's got zero to do with A-Rod himself. If he "wins", the Yankees lose. And are stuck paying him.

I'm rooting for A-Rod to win in the sense it means MLB/Selig get exposed for the fraudulent, sanctimonious assholes that they are

Well this is going to get messy

 

http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9977389/major-league-baseball-purchase-biogenesis-documents-impeded-florida-department-health-investigation-sources-say

 

Major League Baseball officials impeded a Florida Department of Health investigation of Biogenesis founder Tony Bosch by purchasing clinic documents they likely knew had been stolen and had been warned not to obtain, sources close to the investigation told "Outside the Lines."

 

The source said MLB knew the documents had been intended for Florida investigators and that the purchase of them hindered the state investigation by preventing the department from gathering additional evidence against Bosch, doctors and others affiliated with the clinic. Further, MLB officials never told health department officials they had obtained the records, the source said.

 

"They can't say they weren't warned," the official said.

 

The allegation that MLB affected an official investigation is just the latest in a high-stakes drama that has come down to a battle between Rodriguez, the game's highest-paid player, and baseball leadership.

If that's true, does this mean ARod is going to get off?

 

Wow that's crazy

Wow that's crazy

I don't think so, but MLB officials could face an obstruction charge from FL, I would think. It's not likely though. Someone is trying to embarrass MLB. Who might want to do that and also has strong ties in FL?

[Guest]

The federal arbitrator failed to compel Bud to testify and ARod threw a tantrum. He's not helping his case, but I would be really pissed too #kangaroo court .

[champaignchris]

The arbitrator reduced the suspension from 211 games to 162.

 

Crazy thing is A Rod has three more years left on that contract after sitting out 2014.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

A-Rod is one of those psychos who has lied so much he actually believes he's telling the truth.

[Soul]

60 minutes tonight: hear the truth about ARoid from the source. Should be fun.

[d_money]

Bosch claiming that Arods associates threatened to kill him. Crazy [expletive]
