What do you guys think? Is this good for the game? Personally I would like to see him not earn the rest of the money on the contract and that he gets hit with a season suspension then is free to sign with any team

 

But on the same note, I don't want the Yankees to get the owed money nulled, because then Cano will be a Yankee lol

I sincerely hope they're not going to hold him to a higher standard than other players just because he's so high profile. If he faces a lifetime ban, anyone else on that list should face the same penalty.

Assuming he's not also on the list! ;)

Dammit the Yankees angle makes this a catch-22. I hate A-Rod and outlawing him forever would send the perfect message. But that would also open the Yankees up tremendously.

 

Maybe a report comes out that the Yankees knew of this and didn't report it so they have to also be punished by paying the money?

 

They could ban him from the MLB and keep him in the MiLB with his ugly contract

No, I don't believe there is such a reporting process and there's no way to reprimand teams. The minor leagues idea would be funny since he might get bored and end up retiring anyway.

 

I'd do that lol even if it means A-Rod gets money. f*** it I just don't like the yankees making $$$

Looks like a wink wink between MLB and the Yankees.

 

Once again it says "IF" they can't come to a deal. I think A-Rod has to say yes to any deal for the $$$ or else the contract is voided.

 

I'm guessing the 'deal' is that he's suspended from now until August 2014

If they ban him for life it's going to send a very harsh message, that's for sure.

 

Or a very conflicting message

I think its rediculous that players are making "deals". If you are guilty get suspended and shut up like everyone else.

 

Do you don't try to negotiate with the whores before going on a date with her?

There's a problem though. MLB wants to suspend these guys without positive tests.

 

They don't have the tests, but they do have a mountain of convincing evidence and witnesses to bring out.

 

I'm not sure what the language is in the CBA, but it's probably hard for MLB to suspend a player without a positive test, which is why they are trying to get the players to agree to a suspension in light of everything else that they can hang on them.

 

But that begs the question of, on what ground would MLB be able to suspend ARod for life? If they can't just justifiably slap a suspension on him for the Biogenesis stuff, because of the current CBA language, then how could they justifiably slap a lifetime ban on him?

 

It all seems kind of weird. Seems kind of like a purposely leaked bluff by Major League Baseball.

 

If I'm ARod, I'm saying "fine, you got me, give me my 50 games and we'll settle this issue".

You don't need to take whores on dates. You just invite them over and f*** them.

 

lol

 

You must agree on financial terms with her and about the sexual positions.

Like him or hate him, he's probably the best shortstop to ever play baseball and that's a big reason why he's being targeted. No one cares about the no-names who juiced. This is not good for the game at all, to cast out one of the greatest to ever play the sport and a guy who was pretty much the face of the league in the 2000s.

Would A-Rod not have grounds to sue?

 

Sure but he would need to prove it. This whole thing is a gigantic gong show.

-Lifetime ban

-Arod doesn't get the money

-The Yankees still have to pay the money (to MLB which is redistributed somehow)

 

that's my pipe dream

Also, can it be a lifetime ban with pay, just so it f***s over the Yankees?

 

Can it be lifetime ban, and Yanks pay the money to a whole bunch of charities? That way everyone gets f***ed and it's for a good cause.
