(39,358 posts)I say he never plays another game in the pros. I said that last year when the original suspension came out as well.

(12,282 posts)He is still due a $3 million payment this month as part of his signing bonus. Geez, poor guy, ONLY making $3 million this year.
He will of course attempt anything and everything to try and make a comeback next season, as he's owed $61 million for the remaining years of his contract. If he can't perform he'll likely find a way to get a disability retirement (he has had hip injuries, so that might go through), in which case he'd get that $61 million for doing nothing.
I have a very low opinion of A-Rod, if he had any kind of decency he'd just quietly walk away. Instead he's showing the world his inflated ego once again.

(5,455 posts)Serial adulterer, serial liar, selfish, arrogant and a cheater. I only hope he does something stupid enough that the Yankees can void his contract.

(33,031 posts)Is it up front or yearly? If yearly, does the agent lose out in A Fraud's case??

(4 posts)He went out of his way to not only break the rules, but cover it up. His contract should be voidable and he should be out of baseball.
