Well it looks like Alex Rodriguez is taking the 2014 season off. An arbitrator is reducing the 211-game drug suspension for New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez to 162 games. Saturday’s ruling means Rodriguez will miss the entire 2014 season under the suspension handed down by Major League Baseball in connection with performance-enhancing drugs. The decision will cost MLB’s active home run leader and highest paid player 25-million-dollars in salary. Rodriguez is expected to take the issue to federal court.
Should he just take the suspension and try to come back next year and play? He’ll be a year older–39 when next season starts. Who knows what skills he’ll have left? If this is the end of A-Rod’s career, what a bad way to go out.
