As of yesterday, it is my understanding that the appeals portion of Arod's suspension has come to a screeching halt. That the internal process set forth by the contractual agreement between MLB and the players union has been exercised.
The next step is for Arod to take it to the courts, where I believe he and his legal team will ultimately be stonewalled by the "Anti-trust exemption" Good luck with that Arod.
In the beginning, when this story broke, MLB made statements that the evidence accumulated toward Arod was a lot. It seems as though, despite the theatrics of Arod's legal team, this has been upheld in the appeals hearing. Otherwise, winners or attorney's who feel they are winning don't walk out. So when Horowitz renders his final ruling, I expect that the suspension to be upheld. The third strike.
But here is where I feel the golden sombrero gets added to his last at bat if you will.
His attorney's who never fear a chance to promote themselves, plus the artist formerly known as Arod, will file whatever motions and suits necessary to make his famous last stands. Like many last stands before him, Arod will finally learn the meaning of "The Last Stand". Baseball, which enjoys the Anti-Trust exemption basically is bullet proof from this type of proceeding I feel. And Arod's attorney's may take this fight all the way to the supreme court, which would most likely take 2 more years to work its way through the appeals process, so the final strike will be age, the fight Arod can't win against time. "The Golden Sombrero"
I'm not an attorney but I can't see this going any other way can any of you. I have included links about the anti trust exemption below. what's your feedback?
