If he gets an injunction blocking implementation of the arbitrator's decision, you think the Yankees will DFA him?

No team would pick it up. If another team wants him they sign him to a separate deal that pays the minimum $500k.

Of course Yankees retain all legal rights.

Unlike many here, the Friar is not rejoicing in this news. We just lost a good 3b.

Not sure why
@davidwaldstein: Because of ARod suspension, Yankees will actually get a credit for past luxury tax payments.

Just don't know if his body will cooperate. Did you hear Harold Reynolds say today maybe #13 should get the follow up hip surgeries now he needs on both his hips?

Here it is:
@davidwaldstein: Yankees have been paying tax at a rate consistent with ARod's AAV being 27.5 million. Now it's actually more like $25.2 million per year.

Let's divide up the $51,111,111.11 they spent on the signing fee over his tenure there before you say that. Regardless of what it amounts to, it was money wasted and I'd rather not see the Red Sox make the same mistake twice, but I am more than happy to see the Yankees do it. No risk, no reward...you made the point regarding Ichiro. Every contract is a roll of the dice (pun intended)...for foreign player or otherwise. It's the nature of the business...er, "sport".

@tjquinnespn: Tony Bosch's statement: "Tony Bosch doesn't take joy in seeing Alex Rodriguez suspended from baseball..." (1)
@tjquinnespn: "...but he believes the arbitrator's decision was appropriate. He is glad to have the arbitration behind him..." (2)

No team would pick it up. If another team wants him they sign him to a separate deal that pays the minimum $500k. If they DFA him -- whether in response to an injunction or when he comes off of suspension -- and he does the remaining surgeries and rehab, it would be interesting to see him try to work his way back to glory by way of those $500k deals. He could still end up being a Yankee DH someday.

Norkee all you posted is possible. I can't believe he was so foolish and I was foolish for the first two months after this news broke thinking no way he would do this again. Very sad!

@davidwaldstein: 60 Minutes has a big show this Sunday -- with a double segment on ARod and supposedly some really interesting stuff. A must watch.

Wasn't 60 Minutes where all the denial started?

I'm happy Arod is out for the season. Now let's play baseball. I'm tired of reading all this stuff. I can barely bring myself to comment on it.
All I can say is I knew he wasn't going to play baseball this year. It's not a surprise.

To put it simply: A contract is binding if your consent was not affected by information withheld by he another party. Yankees could move to void on at basis. Had they known about the doping they would not have signed. Issue then is when did you know, did you cure the defect in consent by subsequent actions. In sum all the elements of a judicial battle are there with both parties firing away. Outcome: probable settlement. If I were the yankees I would not go down paying full buck. This guy does not deserve it. They may well opt to settle before an get it out of the way and that is the most probable outcome.
