Posted in Alex Rodriguez, Arod, Baseball, MLB, PEDs, Yankees on January 11, 2014 | 1 Comment »

Arbitrator Frederic Horowitz has decided to reduce Alex Rodriguez’ suspension to 162 games, which, make no mistake about it, is a victory for Major League Baseball.

PEDs, Punishment and Jhonny Peralta; Does Crime Really Pay?

Posted in Baseball, Free Agents, Hot Stove, PEDs on November 25, 2013 | 1 Comment »
