MLB tells union A-Rod deal is off the table; Yankees star expected to be suspended until 2015 - m.NYPOST.com http://m.cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?catid=57596879&feed_id=null&videofeed=null Looks like all deals are off.
If suspended until 2015 that is better than a lifetime ban (albeit he is getting older for baseball). I wonder if he can at least play in the sub league to keep in shape for the return. The real question is will he just never return, return and fizzle out a has been, or return with a vengeance and gun for the record books. Time will tell but my gut says he may fade into the sunset his wealth in tact and protected by his legal eagles.
They should also strip the last 3 years of stats! They were attained "Under the influence" of steroids, thus should not be counted in the "Lifetime Stats" He is getting off lucky, the penalty should have been more severe!
