    Can't talk baseball in here without Yazzer or Triumph ruining a thread.




    Actually, the only person I've seen ruining baseball threads here since softlaw has gone away is you.

    Hopefully, he's helping the Yankees try to void ARODs contract;)

    In response to J-BAY's comment:

    It's almost  impossible  to void a legally binding contract. You have to show the terms are illegal or  there is a clause in the conract which make it voidable. In this case, unless the NYY had a clause about PED use, I don't see them getting out of it, especially with the players union behind him.



    Or they can prove that Rodriguez breached the contract by not fulfilling its terms.  The article suggests that he may have accepted unauthorized medical treatments, or that he may have obtained illegal drugs.  Either of these may be a breach that would allow the Yankees to get out of the rest of the contract.  The beiggest hurdle is that they have to show how the remedy is appropriate for the damages.

    Reading all I can find, listening to the experts on ESPN, MLB Network since the story broke.

    Now seems voiding the contract the way it is worded is wishful thinking by yankee fans. At the outset i thought it could be a possibility but I'm not a lawyer.

    As a Yankee fan I doubt we'll ever see him in the uniform again but tend to think it will have to be some sort of a buy-out each side giving in, sincerely doubt he would retire leaving money on the table.

    The cheating is one thing, that makes me sick, but the lying to the fans and the organization is why he won't be back.

    As a Red Sox fan, I hope A-Rod finishes his contract with the NY Yankees.  LOL

    The Charge of the Late Brigade: A Travisty of MLB Justice

     

    Hafner League, Hafner League, Hafner League Downward

    Hal in the Valley of Dad

    Owed him 600

    Void it, O law brigade

    And charge for the PED's

    Hal in the Valley of Dad

    Owed him 600

     

    Void it, O law brigade

    With Arod now dismayed

    Not though the owner knew

    Someone had blundered

    Theirs not to make up lies

    Theirs not to say "Oh my!":

    Theirs not to just pop-fly

     

    Steroid to right of him

    Steroid to left of him

    Steroid in front of him

    Injected, then wondered

    Swarmed with boos and beer

    Badly he played and fell

    Into the Hall of Shame

    Into the Valley of Hal

    Who owed him 600......

     

    (to be continued.....as lame as this is, it took only 15 minutes....so sadly there might be more verses coming....)

    If Roid can find a doctor who can support that he is incapable of playing BB ever again because of his hip or whatever he can conjure up, the Yanks owe him the entire $114M. It's a contractual stipulation.
