What will ultimately I feel, work against Arod is the timing of all of theses scenarios. First, if MLB is able to establish their findings with facts that support their claim, regardless of the whistle blowers integrity, then Arod is fighting an uphill battle. Both legally and then in the court of public opinion. Now we know that Arod could give a rats ass about the law or peoples opinion, but in this case it will be his downfall. If what we are led to believe is true, that MLB has met and offered a deal, you would naturally assume that Arod's attorneys have complete knowledge and understanding of MLB case, and if any of the evidence was weak or not fact, you would see a totally different response from Arod. He got screwed when he couldn't get on the field which I felt would have led to his retirement due to injuries and hip surgeries which thus would protect a large portion of uncollected salary. Time is working against him, he played his hand and it is time for the river card!!!
