Alex Rodriguez - nice gig if you can get it

[doug.goodman]

So, he drops his lawsuits and agrees to sit out the season, but because the MLB season is defined as 183 "days", and he is suspended for 162 "games", he will be getting paid for the 21 "off" days, nearly $3,000,000.

Must be nice.

Question for the lawyers here: since the off days fall between the game days, and since Rodriguez is suspended for all of the 2014 season games, by implication, unless his suspension is lifted by the league between games can't the Yankees argue that his suspension also holds on these off days, and thus they are responsible for no part of his contract in 2014.

Really? Wow, you're right. Must be nice.

Please know that I am not singling you out when I posit that news items about A-Rod definitely belong elsewhere on this Board.

When joining Net54, I was under the impression that conversations would revolve around cards: the nuances; how to spot fakes; hobby trends.

My apologies to all for stirring the pot; however, thought this community was above the fray.

Can we not discuss old cardboard academically?

Best regards,

Eric

The man has been here five years, if he wants to post something very timely that isn't about old cards no problem here.

You should follow your own advice and quit stirring up shit in other members BST listings.

it goes both ways, given that he has crapped all over my threads.

others should be warned of what happened. i think my post was quite justified.

additionally, your reponse makese no sense. the topic IS in the wrong area and im not stirring shit up. had you read what i posted i said, i don't really care.

With thanks to Peter for taking my back, Eric and Kevin are both probably right about me posting in the wrong section, but this section seems to be where most "off topic" posts go (like the Rogers FBI post).

I'm happy to have Leon move it, or delete it, as he sees fit.

Wherever this thread ends up, I'm still amazed that being suspended for 162 games, can potentially still mean getting paid 11 1/2% of your yearly salary.

Oh, and he got another $3mil last month from his signing bonus.

Speaking only for my self- I have no issue with your off topic post. Alot of posts in this section are ot. And your subject line states the topic.

Peter,

I have no problem with the person whose post inspired my reply. My true issue is related to Net54 members not placing their posts in the appropriate area.

A-Rod's current haunts have absolutely nothing to do with Pre-war cards...period.

Just my two cents. Of course, being without power for a few days might have made me a bit cranky.

Eric

[oldjudge]

I agree with Amanda

Tenure hath its privileges. So saith Amanda (and Leon).

Id take that job any day

[dabigyankeeman]

Total bs that the Yankees have to pay him those millions for days off and also it counts against their salary cap (which now is meaningless as they have gone past it for the luxury tax). The ruling should be that if you cant play at all in a season you get ZERO dollars.

That said, i am so glad A-Rod did this, now maybe people will just be talking about him for a few days and then he will not be the big topic of conversation until next season. He would have been a big blackeye on baseball this season, now he wont.

What a hilarious legal beating ARod took. He lost every last thing. Big shocker there.

Wow that is nuts. Thanks for sharing.
