Report: Alex Rodriguez Contract Could Be Terminated Over PED Use

[TheMoneyShot]

Currently: A-Rod Is Making $30,000,000 a year. Yes, that is a fact.

Source: A-Rod's value at his current age is approx. $5,000,000 a year.

Guaranteed Earnings left on contract is around $114,000,000

Donald Trump Stated It


This could be one of the most interesting court cases in the history of all sports... if the Yankees file a lawsuit.

The question is.. if you were the chairman of the Yankees organization... would you force a lawsuit?

[Brock Landers]

i'd drop him like a bad habit if i could, biggest waste of money EVER

[Br0nxer]

never happen

Union will fight

There are penalties in place for PED use that were collectively bargained-contract termination is not one

He was never suspended for PED use

Guys that were suspended didnt have contracts terminated

Zero chance it holds up even if they attempt to which they never will

Yep. Little to no chance that the Yankees go this route. Just trade him and eat some contract. Some crappy organization like the Marlins will pick him up to sell a few tickets.

[krk1030]

You dont want him on the books for 30 mil a year, but lets not act like his career is over.

No reason he wont go back to hitting .290 and 35 hr's.

And he always sucked ass in october, so its not like this recetn shit is new.

35 dinger season

im sure it could be done... but it wont. The NY Yankees wouldnt belittle the integrity of their organization by going to court over such a thing.. if he agrees to waive his no trade clause, expect him in either a marlins, dodgers, or Angels jersey.. NYY would have to eat about 80 million of whats owed to him though..

Marlins only shot.
Angels have no use for him pal.
Dodger wont spend the $ after what the took on from boston

[Br0nxer]

Its Marlins or nowhere

Dont think he would agree to go anywhere else

Its gonna happen

He will not be on the Yankees next year

Just a matter of how much of the contract the Yankees eat

[shocka1212]

the yankees would be eating a large part of what is owed on the contract so the dodgers and angels would be in play... i know the angels dont "need" him but from a marketing stanpoint, it makes sense. Angels dont have the same luxury the Yankees do. They have to compete within their city vs the dodgers for bragging rights and such and getting AROID for a bargain price would make sense... even if they didnt need him

[ermzzy]

americans always cheat.

He is Dominican*

So pujols is no good for bragging rights
or Trout
Or Weaver

Maybe its me but i really dont think it would make sense at all. Pujols is gonna be a DH Arod is gonna be a DH. What are they gonna platoon them in 3 yrs.

If they went for Arod it would be the 3rd dumbest move in the history of baseball
right behind Texas giving him 10 yrs 250 mil and yankees 10 yrs 300 mil

He has a no trade clause and heard on the radio today that someone close to him said he would only go to Miami anyways.

Dont get me wrong i hope your right. I never liked the guy. But if the Yankees kept him and played him everyday and he didnt get hurt he would bat 260 22 hrs and 85 ribis
And for 30 Million... What a joke

[Brock Landers]

He is Dominican*

the guy probably doesn't even speak spanish

There is no way they keep him after the way they embarassed him the last 10 days

That cannot be repaired

They basically told him they think he is a fukkin bum by playing Chavez over him

He is as good as gone

[Chi_archie]

I can't see ANY team taking on that kind of albatross. Contract gones past his 42nd b-day? Look how much the yanks had to pay the pirates to take a smaller amount of years of a younger AJ Burnett

[Br0nxer]

Yankees are going to end up eating the majority of whats left

Whoever gets him is going to be on the hook for very little

[Chi_archie]

little $ or not, its like 5 year of hook

[Br0nxer]

little $ or not, its like 5 year of hook

he will put fannies in the seats in Miami

even if its only the first year he is there

[King Mayan]

Trump being nosy again

Hey trump, you blond-raccoon wearing motherfukker, worry about your failed businesses instead, you dumbfukk.

[Chi_archie]

he will put fannies in the seats in Miami

even if its only the first year he is there

did you see what happened in Miami this year? no one is bringing fannies to those seats unless they are winners

[Br0nxer]

Alex is the fukkin king of miami

they will come out in the beginning to see him

guy runs the fukkin city

[Chi_archie]

NOPE

fan base is already pissed and a heavy backlash toward Loria for "baiting and switching"

taking on big $ in an attempt to get people to buy season tickets, then salary dumping.

they don't want to be associated with any "publicity" like that again.

[vaas187]

spot on.

[badguy]

I think he goes and plays 3rd for the Dodgers LOL!! That team will waste money on anyone..

[TheCentaur]

He comes back in game 4 and hits a game winning pinch hit grand slam. Yanks go on to win the series. He comes out as a homo and Torrie Wilson comes out as a hermaphrodite. Too easy

[pensfan1919]

Maybe I'm nuts but an easy fix would be to can Girardi and keep AROD(instead of the other way around).

Girardi is the one who ****** up here-AROD was just one of many guys that were slumping.

It was all over for the Yankees the moment Girardi scapegoated AROD and let Swisher and Granderson off the hook.

Eventually dipshit figured this out and slowly benched those guys as well.

Girardi was the one who really ****** up here-time to let him go.

[pensfan1919]

I'm not sure AROD has anything left or not but I'd keep him around for another year and see what happens with a new manager.

you're fukkin trippin

Girardi did nothing wrong

he did a great job this year

ARoid is a washed up jerkoff

And just so you know benching ARoid was not Girardi's call

Cashman has made out the lineup the last 3 games

He all but admitted it today in the press conference before the game

[pologq]

i am not sure why here in nyc that a-rod has received the majority of criticism over swisher, cano, granderson, and even tex. that being said this is not repairable and you will not see a-rod play another game for the yankees. they can't backtrack now and play him again.

[convick]

They are going to ship him to Miami and pay 90 million of his remaining contract.

Because the guy makes 30 million a year

thats why

He is a lightning rod

When the shit hits the fan he will always get the blame, wrong or not

[neverstoppers23]

LOL., , people take trump's comments seriously?

[Andy117]

Once again Trump doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

If the Yankees ever had grounds to terminate that contract they'd be gone now as they've let him play under it for a few years now since the steroid info came out.

[pensfan1919]

If it was Jeter slumping like this and not AROD, would Yankees fans want him shipped out?

Didn't think so.

This is an overreaction.

I guess Cashman and/or Girardi needed a scapegoat.

Whoever set the lineups for this series is the guy that should be gone, not a guy that is slumping.
