AROD AND HIS PEOPLE TALKING SETTLEMENT

[Hammerojustice]

Word is the talks have stalled on the length of the suspension arod is willing to accept and on arod wanting to cash in on his contract as much as possible. That's nice. Here is my question, why is this a negotiation at all? If MLB has the hammer to drop why don't they say Alex you will accept 2 years suspension without pay or you will be faced with a lifetime ban and collect nothing. End of story. The fact that these talks are ongoing has me wondering how much MLB is bluffing with just how much evidence they have and how much they really believe a lifetime ban will fly.

If they do indeed have this evidence and are not bluffing... there shouldn't even be an offer at all... just flat out ban him for life!
