Theories on why?
rembrat said:Amazing that there are no Red Sox... so far.
Greg29fan said:The most amazing thing about this whole ordeal is Fat Bart not getting suspended again.

Of the 14 that are being suspended, six are current or former Yankees. I realize this is being discussed in another thread, but it's really eye opening.DrewDawg said:
There's rumored to be 15 suspensions and there are 30 teams. Not really all that amazing...
knucklecup said:Wait, so Peralta gets through? I don't need to make a bad trade to replace him? Great news if true...
Right.uncannymanny said:I keep seeing things in this thread and elsewhere about "when we know what evidence MLB has." Are people really thinking MLB is going to release documents and other evidence? I have an extremely hard time believing, outside of leaks (which have to this point been very minimal), that the public will see any of this information.

86spike said:Right.
We won't even get a formal announcement from MLB on Arod's punishment or the accusations against him until after the appeal.
The public is not supposed to know about these things until a player either agrees to the punishment or the appeal is done.

I think he gets tarred in the court of public opinion before the arb process is over. But then again I'm cynical that way.
Certainly MLB can talk about the suspensions that have already happened, so perhaps that's an avenue for making some of this info public.
What do you think A-Rod's reception is going to be like tonight when he suits up?

T.J. Quinn reports that despite late effort by union to deal for A-Rod, MLB intends to formally suspend him at 3 pm through 2014 season.
Jeebus, even the union wants him to cut a deal. What a mess
bosox188 said:I don't see why the MLB seems to want so much attention on the A-rod situation that they are announcing his suspension separately from the others.

rembrat said:Really confused based on the last posts in this topic. Why do you guys have him playing today?
crow216 said:I'm getting a lot of shit in my league for dropping Peralta and picking up Arod.

E5 Yaz said:
He can appeal a suspension if it's only PED based. If it's "best interests of baseball," that's another matter

DrewDawg said:
Because he will appeal. That's what all this back and forth has been about the last few weeks.
E5 Yaz said:I have never been an advocate for this under any circumstance, but if the situation presents itself, I hope Quintana buries the first pitch in ARod's ribs
crow216 said:
He can appeal either way. He just can't play if it's the latter.
