January 31, 201313 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Yeah, that was fun having Manny on the team shortly after his PED suspension. Fun times Ramirez wasn't a failure because he was a distraction, he was a failure because he couldn't hit. If ARod can't play I don't want them to sign him.
January 31, 201313 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) I agree with Littlehurt, if the Yankees owed him $10M there'd be no talk of voiding his contract. I would not be at all surprised if the Yankees hired their own investigators to see if ARod was involved in anything that could get his contract voided. Didn't George Steinbrenner get kicked out of baseball a couple of years for doing that type of thing to Dave Winfield?
January 31, 201313 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 05:33 PM) Didn't George Steinbrenner get kicked out of baseball a couple of years for doing that type of thing to Dave Winfield? Different era, back when MLB had a commisioner who wasn't an ex-owner. Besides, $114M is worth the risk of suspension.

If ARod can't play I don't want them to sign him. Why should we expect anything different from ARod. And ManRam was a distraction from the moment he stepped into the dugout. I prefer no press as opposed to that circus.

And not really my point. If they can get out of ARod's contract, then he did something significant enough to void an MLB contract.

February 1, 201313 yr I am so f***ing over PED's in baseball. Just let the idiots go free reign and abuse the s*** already.
February 1, 201313 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) yes, we need this sort of press because the team needs attention That ARod is a PED user is old news.
February 1, 201313 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 12:05 PM) That ARod is a PED user is old news. ORLY? You dont say
February 1, 201313 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 07:45 PM) Think he would wear a Sox hat in the HoF? Wasn't it Reinsdorf who tried to place or did place a diminishing skills clause in the big Hurt's contract? We shouldn't judge what other owner's do.

February 1, 201313 yr QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) IF the Yankees are successful at voiding the remainder of A-Rod's contract, and IF his surgery is successful (and he passes a drug test(s)), would you take a flyer on him if you were the White Sox? If Jerry Angelo were the GM, this farce would be closer to a reality.
February 1, 201313 yr QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 04:24 PM) If Jerry Angelo were the GM, this farce would be closer to a reality. I don't even get this either. When did Angelo do anything like this?
