Anybody else excited to see how this drama filled soap opera plays out with him and the Yanks?
The team clearly doesn't want him there yet now that he's served his suspension and that crazy contract they are stuck with him. I really don't feel sorry for the Yankees like some are and here's why. Back when they traded for him they knew he was a cheater then... I think Canseco had called him out about that time among the fact he just was cheating. Yet the Yanks like the commish during that whole "steroid era" pretty much knew but didn't care. He was playing great and even helped them win a ring so they gave him a monster extension. Don't get me wrong Arod is a ****** and he'll never shake his well deserved reputation. But the Yanks are plenty culpable to being in the situation they are in too.
So now the Yanks want to avoid having to pay for the bonuses he'll almost surely earn this season due to his past cheating... Really? Will the Yanks give up their WS trophy/banner because they had that known cheater on the team at the time too? I didn't think so... So between that and the players union being the strongest of all the big sports leagues Arod will get that money too. I look forward to seeing this drama play out
